Tourists watched in horror as a dolphin leapt out of a tank during a performance at an aquarium in Japan. The event was captured on camera by an American visitor to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium on July 4.

The footage shows the dolphin being hosed down by its keepers, wrapped in mats and lifted back into the tank with a crane, while the other dolphins in the tank appear to be distressed and gather inside the tank where the creature leapt out.

Former US dolphin trainer turned campaigner, Rick O’Barry, 70, said the video showed a dolphin under stress.
