Animal lovers in Boston, Massachusetts have been very concerned for a stranded, solo, dolphin in an inlet near Boston's Tenean Beach in Dorchester, Massachusetts.

First thing first - it is not a dolphin.

Second thing second - there really IS A PORPOISE in an inlet near Boston's Tenean Beach in Dorchester, Massachusetts...so that is crazy news.

I didn't even know there were porpoises in our area...

People who saw this video, or the porpoise in person on March 10, were extremely concerned.

This is certainly not the first time people were concerned about an animal that "did not belong" in our region. Just last year there were flamingos...bright pink ones...on a popular beach in Massachusetts.

Many recommended calling, or personally called, the New England Aquarium to report the animal in an abnormal location. But it was not a big concern for experts in the Boston area.

According to a WCVB article, New England Aquarium’s director of rescue and rehabilitation said that the harbor porpoise in the Neponset River was not concerning...even though the public was certainly concerned.

According to experts at the New England aquarium, the porpoise was feeding and diving perfectly fine - there was no sign of distress for the animal.

Further, it is common for porpoises to explore alone - so nothing to worry about! Just another unique animal we got to see on our beautiful coastline.
