Dolphins have appeared in Istanbul’s major and international Bosporus waterway as ship traffic sees a dramatic drop due to coronavirus lockdown in Turkey.
Dolphins have been sighted swimming near the shore, where Ortakoy mosque and Bosporus bridge located.
Apparently, the silencing of boat and human traffic brought them literally to the shore amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"Istanbul's dolphins now hang out very close to the shore, where iconic Ortaköy Mosque and Bosporus Bridge located," one social media user remarked on Twitter.
