Glowing dolphins sound like a creature out of a Disney movie, but if so, California is the new Atlantica.
In a video shared on social media by Newport Coastal Adventure, a whale watching company, dolphins glow a magical shade of blue thanks to a beautiful display of bioluminescence off Newport Beach.
The natural phenomenon is created by the dolphins swimming through a large dinoflagellate population. Dinoflagellates are neither plants or animals, but small planktonic surface organisms that create the luminescence at night when agitated.
