First Pilot whales of the year!

Hello everyone!

Today we had Short-finned Pilot Whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) of the year! A beautiful nursery group, a lot of babies and juveniles. On the group there was also a juvenile of Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) playing around with a juvenile pilot whale, as the other group was close by.

Then we spoted one Sperm Whales (Physeter macrocephalus) resting between dives. At the end of the day we had an amazing group of Risso’s Dolphins (Grampus griseus) socializing. We could see a lot of jumps and dolphins turning upside down.

I hope you had enjoyed, see you at Terra Azul!
