#duskydolphins

It's Fun Fact Friday! Did you know Dusky Dolphins are very closely genetically related to the Pacific white-sided dolphin, but current scientific consensus holds they are distinct species? A better name for them may be the "Friendly" dolphin. This species is frequently seen socializing with other animals such as Southern Right Whales in Argentina, Pilot Whales in Africa, and many species of sea birds.⠀ #whaletales #dolphins #duskydolphins #dolphinsareawesome #funfact #trivia #newzealand #storytelling #triva #arctic #dyk #dolphinsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CV5pfm2NMjU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hey Storytellers! Did you know that we take #whaletales about any species? Being from Vancouver BC we are lucky enough to hear many many stories about the cetaceans in the Salish Sea but we have stories about Beaked Whales, Right Whales and even Blue Whales! Whatever #cetacean you saw, whenever or wherever you saw it, we would love to hear your whale tale!

It still doesn’t feel like this actually happened! 🤯 Naturally it didn’t take much convincing to get me to jump in and swim out to these beautiful dusky dolphins this morning ☺️ Thank you @hanliprinsloo for the extra nudge, company and working your dolphin magic💙 Sound on to hear our conversations with the dolphins 🐬 Things to note: - Hanli is the Dolphin whisperer - This is the furthest out I have ever swam at Fish Hoek Beach - I only thought about sharks once - Water temp was 14°C #duskydolphins #dolphins #dolphinscapetown #duskydolphinscapetown #freediving #gopro #goprohero3 #goprohero3blackedition (at Fish Hoek Beach, Cape Town) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYd0NBpacx/?utm_medium=tumblr
