A video of a pod of dolphins swimming in Port Dickson went viral recently, adding on to the long list of 'nature is healing, we are the virus' posts. 

The video, shared on N9 Info Traffic Facebook last week, has garnered thousands of views, comments and shares. 

In the video, you can see four dolphins taking a leisurely swim, and a voice in the background saying that the dolphins were jumping in the water earlier. 

The video is only 43 seconds long but has gotten the attention of many. 

Not an unusual occurrence

While the sight of dolphins so close to our shores is indeed exciting to many of us, it is not an unusual sight.

According to New Straits Times, the fishermen in Negeri Sembilan often come across the animals when they are out in their boats. 

Negeri Sembilan Fisheries Department director Halimi Abu Hanip reportedly stated that dolphins are sometimes seen in the waters near Port Dickson and are protected under the Fisheries Act 1985. 

He advised members of the public to not disturb the animals if they come across any.
