Slow Motion Dolphin Jump

And that's a breach! Pacific white-sided dolphins are one of the most acrobatic dolphins in the world, and they're often seen breaching in the wild -- seemingly just for fun. This is a slow motion video of Helen, a 17 year old Pacific white-sided dolphin at the Vancouver Aquarium. Helen came to the Aquarium from Japan's Enoshima Aquarium. She was brought to the Aquarium in the fall of 2005, along with another named Hana, to form a social pod with the Aquarium's other two Pacific white-sided dolphins, Spinnaker and Laverne.
