Marine Mammals

I am a cetologist (currently unemployed) with an MSc in marine mammal science & several years experience of researching wild bottlenose dolphins. ☽✪☾ Pagan, vegan, armchair activist, mad cat lady, anti-cap & socially awkward anti-social introvert ☽✪☾ On this page you will find a plethora of marine mammal pics, gifs & videos showing these majestic animals free & wild...just as nature intended. *** "There is about as much educational benefit to be gained in studying dolphins in captivity as there would be studying mankind by only observing prisoners held in solitary confinement." Jacques-Yves Cousteau *** "As the dolphin becomes just another victim of humanity's utilitarian attitudes towards the Earth, it seems as though the ancient friendship between our respective species is no longer entirely reciprocal. Such exploitation is nowhere more evident than in the capture and display of cetaceans for profit. Stripped of their natural identity, deprived of their own culture and environment, the dolphin and whale incarcerated within the oceanarium not only symbolizes an abuse of that ancient relationship, but above all our estrangement from nature as a whole." Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan
