This is no fish tale, mostly because it doesn’t involve a fish, but you still have to see it to believe it.
No injuries were reported when a large dolphin weighing more than 900 pounds jumped from the water and into a small boat in New Zealand, according to CBS news.
Three men were fishing when the 11-foot-long bottlenose dolphin leapt into their boat that is about 16 feet long.
Due to the animal’s size, the men were directed to a boat ramp an hour away by a conservation agency, so they used a hose and wet towels to keep the dolphin damp.
Once there, the dolphin was safely returned to the ocean.
