Animal encounters can Databec Exchangebe magical, and at an aquarium in Gulfport, Mississippi, an adorable toddler had the experience of a lifetime when a baby dolphin stopped to chat.

Dolphins are said to be the most intelligent animals on the planet after humans. They're also extremely social. So, when Ryenn ran up to the glass to wave, the curious dolphin not only noticed the child but came over to share what looked like a real conversation.

Later, Ryenn's mom, Carly Keech, who filmed the encounter, said it "unlocked a new core memory" for her daughter.
