A dolphin in the Bahamas retrieved a dancer's phone from the sea bed on September 18 and the video showing it has gone viral.

Miami HEAT basketball team's Teressa Cee was on a dolphin encounter trip just off the island of New Providence when her phone fell into the sea.

A dolphin called Cacique picked it up and gave it back.

"Don't bring your phone to a dolphin encounter," Cee told the camera.

Cee was in the Bahamas as part of a HEAT dancer poster photo shoot.

The video has been viewed more than 2.5 million times since being posted online on September 21.
