Today at the midday trip it was like Wild West out on the ocean. On our way to the beautiful Risso´s dolphins, the Atlantic Spotted dolphins crossed our way. As soon as they discovered the Risso´s dolphins, there was no way to stop them! They also went to the other species, wild and hasty! This happened every time the Risso´s dolphins changed their direction. It seems they do not like Wild West Style! When the small type of dolphins left, it was possible to observe the white bodies of the Risso´s, underneath the surface of the bright blue. Very beautiful!
