    Snopes says the photo is real, but the shadow is actually a dolphin.

    No, it's no shopped but it's not a shark either. It's actually a dolphin if I remember right.

    I think it's a real photo (heard that you can read up on it on Snopes), but it's a dolphin, not a shark, if I remember correctly.

    Anyone else care to confirm it is a dolphin and not a shark in the surfer pic? ;)

    Go to snopes and it shows another picture of a frolicking dolphin taken "later in the day" in the same area. This is proof?

    I know that light combined with water can play tricks on the human eye, but that is ONE BIG dolphin. I think that dolphins have smaller more curved dorsal fins. That seems consistent with the photo but that is still ONE BIG dolphin.

    Don't forget that water can act like a magnifier.

    Lifesavers are candy, lifeguards are people.

    Nothing wrong with lifesavers, but I prefer jolly ranchers.

    All I did was copy paste, I guess I should have put it in quotes. I think what it said about KWs being dolphins is right though.

    Doesn't matter, dolphins are whales. Didn't you read my post?
