Paraphrased from wikipedia:
The Burrunan dolphin (Tursiops australis) is a species of bottlenose dolphin found in parts of Victoria, Australia. It was recognised as a species only in 2011. By size, the Burrunan dolphin is between the other two species of bottlenose dolphin There are only two resident populations of the Burrunan dolphin; one in Port Phillip and these ones from the Gippsland Lakes. Their combined population has been estimated as about 150 dolphins (100 in Port Phillip and 50 in Gippsland).
The dolphin's common name, Burrunan, is an Aboriginal name in the Boonwurrung, Woiwurrung and Taungurung languages, meaning "large sea fish of the porpoise kind".
Dolphin wave jumping at North Stradbroke island. It looks to me like an Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus); any dolphin identification experts out there? Queensland, Australia

Two dolphins coast in the bow wave of the boat as we were going through the fjords of the South Island of New Zealand. I've only swum with wild dolphins once... that was in Hawaii. We swam out about a mile into the ocean where we saw them jumping and having fun... I swam and dove with them for about an hour... They were all totally peaceful and I never felt nervous, even though I was in awe. One of them was even pregnant... was hoping to see it give birth or something! But that didn't happen... but it would have been awesome to see that in the wild.

This was a blast! I must say it was a challenge to capture these dolphins...The trip was almost over before I got a shot..

Thanks everyone for the views, comments, and favs or Thanks for just stopping by!
Olha só o tamanho desse bichão!!!
It feels amazing to feel the dolphin's contact on the skin!
This handsome is the Pink Giant!
The dolphins live loose in the river, there is nothing that holds them, nor do they go through training; they are conditioned by the caretaker, to go to the platform to feed, end up getting used to the place and the people. Many are known by names.

Na classificação dos biólogos, não há nenhuma diferença entre botos e golfinhos é só uma questão de nomenclatura regional. O termo boto ganhou força no Brasil para nomear o pequeno cetáceo encontrado nos rios da Amazônia. A partir daÃ, passou a ser ensinado em escolas que boto era de água doce e golfinho, de água salgada

Trying out my new Canon G11 which i got as a birthday gift from my beloved wife.Can't wait to explore underwater photography with the housing on it.
Location: Sentosa, Singapore
doing some whale watching the other day and came across a small pod of dolphins. They came around the boat and even seemed to enjoy racing along the side of it. These two seemed to stay close.
Nothing common about these exquisite common dolphin, seen here blasting past underwater cameraman Didier Noirot, while filming for the BBC Earth's Great Event series.

We have had a few days away in Wales. One of the things on my 'to do' list was to see Dolphins in the wild.
I had previously seen them many times over while in the Navy but had never had the chance to appreciate these wonderful mammals close up and in their playground.
These Dolphins form part of the Cardigan Bay pod, some of which are here all year and others join the pod swelling numbers in the summer when the food source is good.
There were about 15-18 in this group and they swam around the boat for about 20 minutes before going off to see other craft in the area. They were not fed or encouraged to swim with the boats, they did it because they wanted to.
If the chance arises, take it. It was a great couple of hours.
After photographing puffins in heat and sunshine in Wales last week, it was a bit of a shock this morning in Scotland attempting to capture these amazing animals in extremely hostile conditions.
Had an amazing experience encountering a superpod of thousands of Northern Right Whale Dolphins and Pacific White-Sided Dolphins grouped together in Monterey Bay, CA.

The Moray Firth is one of the best places in Scotland to see Bottlenose Dolphins. The mouth of the firth is very narrow and salmon returning to breed are forced into a relatively confined channel of water between Chanonry Point and Fort George as they swim upstream. Dolphins can often be seen close to land here as they prey on the high densities of fish, particularly at low tide when the salmon have even less room to manoeuvre. We visited on a very low tide, just as it was turning, and were lucky to see a large pod of adults and juveniles just a few metres away from the beach.
After the sun had risen on beautiful Bennett's Beach at Hawks Nest came another surprise ... dolphins swimming along the waves. It is a just a great feeling to know that they are there, even though they were a reasonable distance out.
