Friendly dolphin cuddles fishermen and let them scratch its belly in Red Sea

This is lovely!

A few fishermen got close with a friendly dolphin and scratched its soft belly on 7 May in the Red Sea. 

Three fishermen swam towards the sea creature while they were snorkelling off the Red Sea coast in Egypt. They set the dolphin free from their nets and played with it when they had a massive catch.

The mammal can be heard making some noise while it dives deep before coming back to the humans. 

According to media reports, the man who filmed the clip said they were fishing when a group of dolphins appeared. The one got captured was not shy and came close to them without any fear.
