Dolphins in Mauritius

On Mauritius west coast you have the unique opportunity to watch dolphins frolicking in the water. The skipper of the speedboat will take you to the place where you can watch the dolphins. You will even have the chance to swim with them and watch them at first hand in their natural environment so do not forget to take your snorkel, fin and mask. On a lucky day you can find yourself in a group of 20-30 dolphins at one time. The mother dolphins with their babies are very special and impressive to watch. If you listen carefully you can hear the dolphins ‘singing’ under the water!

Some companies only want to earn money with these dolphin trips and they chase them in order to get close to them. Living under such a stress factor, the dolphins will sooner or later find another place to rest.

I want to see dolphins in the sea! We sometimes have dolphins near our islands but you can only catch them early in the morning around 5-6am. The thing about animal tours is that tourists sometimes forget that in having a close encounter with wildlife it can stress the animals or harm them. That's why one should do research on the tour activity to make sure that it doesn't cause harm.

Thank you Tasneem for this lovely dolphin card!

Manatee

I love manatees! I love Belugas too, I guess I like white creamy animals full of blubber.

Thank you Ginny for this sweet card of the manatees!

Shedd Aquarium

 

Beluga Whale

Belugas live in the cold waters near the Arctic Circle and are well adapted to their cold environment. Almost 10 percent of their body weight s made up of blubber, and their creamy white colour helps them to blend in with their icy surroundings.

Thank you Kendal for thinking of me while in the aquarium haha
