Dolphin school makes surprise Zeeland visit [video]

A group of 35 bottlenose dolphins were recently filmed in the Dutch sector of the North Sea, near the coast of Zeeland. Most bottlenose dolphins in the North Sea live along the Scottish and Northern English coast. Every now and then a group of two or three of these animals will come towards the Netherlands. This is the first time in ten years that such a big group of dolphins could be seen at the Dutch coast.
