Because the animal kingdom is so large, we rarely get to see what the world has to offer. However, it’s fair to say that there are some animals we wouldn’t want to get up close and personal with. In our animal hierarchy, the herbivores come first – because we know for sure that they wouldn’t fancy a bite of our leg or arm when we meet them. Yet, carnivores are a bit trickier. While we often believe that we are at the top of the food chain, there are many carnivores who wouldn’t think twice about tucking into a human for their dinner. There are other carnivores, however, who don’t really like the taste of us. Instead, they spend their days eating fish and insects and going about their business. Although dolphins are carnivores, they survive off a diet of shrimp and crustaceans and have a relatively good relationship with humans.
Thanks to their impressive intelligence, fun nature and social circles within their own pods, dolphins are incredibly docile creatures. Because of this, us humans jump at any chance to interact with them. We might spend hundreds of dollars to swim with dolphins in Florida, we might laugh along as they jump through hoops or balance a ball on their nose, or we might look for them in the wild as they swim through the oceans. Few of us will get the chance to see these dolphins from afar in the wild, and even fewer will get the chance to get up close and personal with these majestic creatures. Yet, one swimmer got the chance of a lifetime when he got to swim with dolphins. However, what he didn’t realize was that these dolphins were there for a whole other reason…

Although us humans rarely interact with other animals within the food chain, there’s just something about dolphins that draws us in. Perhaps it’s their obvious intelligence, their adorable squeaks, their rubbery skin, or even the fact that they always seem over the moon to be near a person. Because of this, many of us make it our mission to see these marvelous dolphins at least once in our life. While many people add ‘swim with dolphins’ onto their bucket list, one swimmer got the shock of a lifetime when dolphins started swimming with him. Yet, as soon as he looks down, he understands why, and his life then changes forever…
