Dolphins are cheeky and gorgeous and they know it. Especially these guys.

They were captured in super slow-mo, on high-quality film equipment because they just so happened to begin leaping in front on a film crew out at sea. Show-offs.

Damian Christie and his team were on there way back from New Zealand's Pelorus Sound when the gang of 20 attention-seeking bottlenose dolphins began jumping into the air in front of them.

Look at them, begging for a close-up moment. Get a grip, you guys.

Christie told Storyful the experience, which he also shared to Facebook, was “magical!” Look, we're not going to lie -- it's awesome. Keep being beautiful, dolphins.
