21.09.2023 – Emotion in the ocean
September 29, 2023
Today in the beautiful waters of Madeira, we had some amazing encounters with sea creatures. Let me tell you about them:
In the morning, we met playful Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and even a big Bryde’s Whale (Balaenoptera edeni). These creatures were so lively and brought so much joy to our trip.
Later in the day, the dolphins came back, and their presence was just magical. As the day went on, we were lucky to see the mysterious Blainville’s Beaked Whales (Mesoplodon densirostris). They are usually quite hard to spot, so it felt really special.
It was a day full of wonder and beauty. Let’s always remember these special moments and do our best to protect these incredible sea creatures and their home.
