A viral post purported to show a pod of dolphins fleeing out farther to sea during Tropical Storm Hilary.
Dolphins may respond to bad weather by swimming further out to sea. As natural history writer Jon Dunn explained in a 2018 article for
, coastal dolphins can sense changes in atmospheric pressure and will swim to calmer waters if poor weather makes their seas dangerous.states that in 2004, two very strong category 2/3 Hurricanes Jeanne and Frances in the Bahamas led to a 30 percent disappearance of spotted and bottlenose communities in the region.
Cindy Elliser, research director and founder of Pacific Mammal Research, told the project:"Based on their history and residency I believe they died, if they had moved I would expect to have seen them in a neighboring community , and none of those lost dolphins have been sighted again." Elliser added that storms can change the availability of food, as hurricanes can kick up dirt and sand in shallow water, killing fish by doing so.
It would make sense, therefore, that the effects of a tropical storm such as Hilary could have led dolphins to swim out elsewhere.
