Jumping in the horizon!

Hello everyone!

Today we had an amazing encounter!

First we head out to the Atlantic Spotted Dolphins (Stenella frontalis) and they were very active and feeding with the Cory’s Shearwater!

Then our lookout told us about the a Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus) a bit more far out and so we went..After riding some minutes we found..it was resting between forage dives and then when recovered the energy went for another dive! We were listening the clicks with our hydrophone and then all of a sudden, towards the horizon we could see a big Sperm Whale jumping 3 times!

A-MA-ZING!!

To say goodbye to our tour, we went to see a group of Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), they were very calm at the beggining but after some minutes they started to hunt the fish.

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