SWANSEA, Mass. (WPRI) — A dolphin was caught on camera swimming near Lee River in Swansea on Monday.

Sarah Callan, the Animal Rescue Program Manager at Mystic Aquarium, told 12 News that while Swansea isn't in the program's coverage area, dolphins do occasionally swim up bays and rivers while chasing fish.

Callan said the dolphins can normally find their way back to open ocean, adding that there are a lot of them in the area right now.
