Patches The Dolphin: Oceanside Photo Of The Day
Thanks to Oceanside Adventures for today's photo. Patch loves photos! Share your photos with Patch and your work could be featured, too.
OCEANSIDE, CA — 'Patches' the black and white leucistic bottlenose dolphin is known to frequent the waters along Southern California's coast. Sightings of the rare dolphin are documented and even celebrated.
Oceanside Adventures has been recording sightings and sharing photos and videos of Patches for over 10 years. Patches even has his own webpage where people can submit their own sightings of the rare dolphin.
"It's always exciting to have Patches, the well-documented leucistic offshore bottlenose dolphin come for a visit like he did in July 2022." said Carla Mitroff, Manager of Oceanside Adventures.
