July 29, 2025
Today we had two species, Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis), which were very calm. Well, even marine mammals need rest periods. They need rest. They need to retreat. They want to be able to swim their own way. However, the whale watching business does not take this into account everywhere. Unfortunately for the animals. It’s their home, we are guests. That’s how we want to treat them and that’s why we let them go their own way after a while. That’s how it should be, that’s how it has to be!!!
