CATwo rare long-beaked common dolphins, typically found in California, were sighted off the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. The sightings occurred in Esperanza Inlet and near Malcolm Island, with researchers noting their presence in B.C. waters as 'extraordinarily rare.' Jackie Hildering from the Marine Education and Research Society explained that these dolphins are not commonly found in temperate waters, but warmer ocean temperatures linked to El Niño and climate change may have influenced their migration. This follows another recent rare sighting of a fin whale off Victoria, which is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
