Surfing the waves like dolphins!

By Vanessa Costa15/08/2021Common Dolphins, Sperm Whales, Striped Dolphins

Hello everyone!

Today on our tour we had a group of Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleonalba) swimming really fast in the waves of the ocean. These animals are normally quite fast here in the Atlantic Ocean but still we are able to see the stripe of these animals.

Then we saw the most amazing group of our beloved Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis), they had a lot of calves on the pod traveling.

Close to the end of the tour we went to search for more animals when all of a sudden we saw a big blow in the middle of the waves. It was a Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus) swimming at the surface close to us. It was indeed a beautiful way to finish our day!

Hope you had enjoyed, see you at Terra Azul!
