## Caption

By Dylan: What started as a family morning on the water ended up being an epic underwater moment 🐬
I knew the vis was terrible in places so wasn’t even going to bring my camera, but it was already setup so chucked it in anyway.... and managed to capture this 🤯

This female dolphin catches a cobbler by the tail and repeatedly let’s it go. It may look like she’s playing however she does this to show her young calf (and me 😂) how to safely catch a cobbler by the tail to avoid the poisonous spine on their head.

I have seen this behaviour a few times before but never while I’ve had my camera... well this morning was the day I had it 📷
