Is this a mixed species dolphin pod? (Florida)

| I went out fishing on Friday and we saw tons of dolphins! Saw a couple pods of spinner dolphins and some pods of what I assume are Atlantic spotted dolphins. Then we came across this pod that looks like it has mostly Atlantic spotted dolphins with a couple of bottle nose dolphins that are also part of the pod! You can see the two swimming side by side at the beginning of the video. This was 50 miles offshore in the gulf, off the coast of Venice, Florida. I didn’t know that dolphins mixed pods like this! Is that really what’s going on? [link] [comments] |
