A Rare Encounter With an Endangered Humpback Dolphin in South Africa

A magical moment with an endangered humpback dolphin (Sousa plumbea) in South Africa. This curious dolphin spent nearly two hours with our research boat, reminding us how rare—and fragile—these encounters truly are. With fewer than 500 individuals left locally, every sighting matters.
