We had such varied tours again today! As always. Quite a few curious, interested children took part in the lunchtime tour. What a joy! Four species of marine mammals – plenty to compare and a great opportunity to observe the differences between the species up close. Children and parents, you were brilliant!
On both my tours, we came across the bronze-coloured ‘water angels’ – that’s what I call them! Rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis) – those cuddly dolphins. They’re perfect candidates for the Olympic Games! Why? Nobody’s better at synchronised swimming!
