Sleepy Sperm Whales!

Hello everyone!

What a wonderful day today 🙂 . The sky was blue and the moring was warm.

After the briefing the lookout said that we had animals so we jumped on the boat and the fisrt stop was a group of Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis). They were searching for food and eventualy they started to feed. Some dolphins were a bit interested on the boat and got close to see what it was but they went pretty fast as they were – of course – more interested on the fish.

Then we went to see a group of Sperm Whales (Physeter macrocephalus). When we arrived we had Sperm Whales at the surface of the water resting. At the beginning they were shallow diving and for the rest of the time they were resting/sleeping.

I hope you had enoyed, see you at Terra Azul.
