A rare and unexpected sighting has been reported of what appears to be a dolphin or a porpoise swimming in the River Usk in Newport.

This unusual occurrence has captured the attention of local residents and wildlife enthusiasts alike. The River Usk is known for its diverse wildlife, including salmon, trout, otters, and various bird species, but sightings of dolphins or any mammals are exceedingly rare – especially in Newport city centre.

The animal was captured by a local dog-walker, walking on the cycle track between Shaftesbury and Caerleon, and has been shared to social media where locals say the animal had been spotted by many as it made its way down the river.
