An amateur drone photographer captured this mesmerising footage as a huge pod of dolphins frolicked off the coast of Florida.<br /><br />Local restaurant owner Paul Dabill, 48, filmed approximately 50 dolphins cavorting in the crystal clear water off the coast of Jupiter.<br /><br />Paul said: "I was scanning the ocean with my drone looking for life to film. <br /><br />"I was lucky to spot the pod. I spent about 30 minutes filming them."<br /><br />Bottlenose dolphins are regular visitors to the coast near Jupiter, but are usually seen in smaller groups.<br /><br />Paul added: "I've seen pods of bottlenose dolphins before, but this one was special because it was so large. <br /><br />"Most pods in the area are much smaller with less than 15 or so.<br /><br />"Some of the juvenile dolphins were playing with bits of sargassum seaweed. They were frolicking in the water and appeared to be having a great time."<br /><br />The dolphins are even seen playing games and chasing one another in the water.<br /><br />Local charity The Taras Oceanographic Foundation has been studying dolphins in this part of the world for 20 years.<br /><br />They have found that some of the animals have created lifelong friendships.
