Four dolphins, including two calves, are saved after being stranded in a canal in Florida, US.
The video, filmed on Tuesday (September 17) and Wednesday (September 18) in St Petersburg, Florida shows a human chain which pushed the dolphins back to freedom using the sounds and vibrations of the water.
The dolphins arrived from Tampa Bay and got stuck in a St Petersburg canal off 4th Street North and the 78th Avenue bridge.
According to wildlife officials, the dolphins were stuck in the water since Sunday and could not find their way back under the bridge due to noise from cars and people.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, along with marine biologists coordinated the rescue.
