STORYKEEPERS Series #5: Dick van Dyke and the Black Porpoises

This STORYKEEPER Story has a Porpoise: An encounter with Black Porpoises Tursiops truncatus off the eastern coast has given Dick an extremely “entertaining” adventure. Drifting off shore while napping on his large long board, Dick was awoke to the splashing of fins. At first he feared the worst, thinking that sharks had surrounded him. “I woke up out of sight of land,” he said, “I started paddling with the swells and I started seeing fins swimming around me and I thought ‘I’m dead!’” To his further surprise, the Black Porpoise began guiding and pushing him on the board: “They pushed me all the way to shore. I’m not kidding!” These Porpoise had a PURPOSE! Bottlenose Dolphins, sometimes called Black Porpoise on the east coast of the genus Tursiops, are the most common members of the family Delphinidae, the family of oceanic dolphin.
