Common and Risso’s Dolphins Together!

Hello everyone! Today the sea was good and the weather a bit warmer.

The first species that we saw was a group of Striped Dolphins but this time, they weren’t with the tipical behaviour. Normally they are always jumping and moving and today they were more under the water, so today was the first time that I saw this dolphins feeding.

Then, our loockout saw a group of Common Dolphins. This ones were also feeding but they weren’t so active, after a while we noticed that we were not alone…In the same area, mixed with the Common Dolphins, was a little group of Risso’s Dolphins feeding as well. In an attempt to see more life, we saw another group of Common Dolphins socialazing and jumping around, much more active.

I hope you had enjoyed! If you want to join, come visit us at Terra Azul. 🙂
