WATCH: Dancing Dolphin Hams it Up in Dana Point

Whales are usually the showstoppers, but not on Saturday in Dana Point. Check out this YouTube video of one dolphin having a good time.

Locals aren't the only ones tired of the heat.

Yes, the blues whales are still frolicking in Dana Point, but don't forget about dolphins.

Check out this critter, who was a jumping, dancing fool for the camera on Saturday in Dana Point.

"We never see them act like this, it's a bottlenose dolphin like the ones at Sea World so maybe he wants a job," joked Donna Kalez, general manager at Dana Wharf Sportishing and Whale Watching.

The video was taken by Capt. Frank Brennan on a whale-watching vessel out of Dana Wharf Whale Watching, Kalez said.

According to NationalGeographic.com, these dolphins are sleek swimmers and can reach speeds of more than 18 mph. They surface to breathe two or three times a minute.

I hit enter in the comment and it posted - I wasn't done! Why would it post if you don't clickRead More "post comment"?! I read one story and the scrunched up left placement gave me a headache. The ad column on the right is way too big - too wide. If they made that smaller, swapped the "board" column and the news (so the news was in the middle), I think it would be easier to read.

With the ad block on the right and the boards info in the middle, it feels like the news part isRead More scrunched too far to the left.
