Flipper was an American television series that ran from 1964 to 1967, following a bottlenose dolphin who helped a park ranger and his sons in Florida. In France the show was known as Flipper le dauphin, which is why this clip carries that name on soundboards. The recording itself is shared online simply as a dolphin cry, a son du dauphin searched for in French and German as well as English. It remains popular for ocean edits, animal memes and quick underwater reactions.
