Mermay day 11

My friend _Verdigo_ on Instagram named her Alucia. I imagine her as some shapeshifter that has some magical glowing hair and tattoos. I’ll revisit her again. Maybe some short comics.

La odisea de la búsqueda del calamar gigante

Interesante y poco promocionada fue una escala del 26 de junio de 2022, esa tarde hacía escala el superyate de expedición “Odyssey” procedente de Cannes y que navegaba para OCEEF. Primero quedó atracado en la zona sur del puerto y días más tarde, tras una salida a la mar, a su regreso quedó atracado en el Muelle de Lepanto. El “Odyssey” atracado en el Muelle de Lepanto del puerto de…

BONDING💙🐬! We often see this on our tours😊. Reposted from @maestro320 - "That Secret Handshake" - 🔵Maestro's Notes: I've been waiting for this post from Our Friends in Conservation onboard Research Vessel Alucia at OceanX @oceanx - "One, two, three, four, I declare a fin-war!” Congratulations to our caption contest winner, Sam Mitchell @volcano_grad. While it may look like these bottlenose dolphins coasting with the wake on #Alucia's bow are engaging in a competitive handshake, fin-to-fin touching is actually a display of social bonding, especially between females in male-biased groups. (Connor, Mann, & Watson-Capps, 2006)*. Seen as we were transiting back out to the reefs outside Miami for another day of science dives. This pod of five stayed with us for half an hour. • A major part of the dolphin's day is spent in social behaviors. Social interactions between dolphins may include rubbing, touching pectoral fins, nursing, mating, and synchronous displays (performing behaviors together such as bows). Athletic behaviors may include breaching (a form of a bow), porpoising and spy hopping (the dolphin's head rising vertically out of the water to look around). Dolphins appear to prefer association with other particular dolphins and also appear to recognize each other even after being separated for long periods of time.Aggressive behaviors are used to establish dominance in the pod, a sign of frustration or annoyance, or a response to aggression from others. Agression is used as a tool to manage relationships with others (as most animals do). They may include tail slapping (kerplunking), jaw popping, pectoral slapping (as seen in the video below), chasing, head-to-head racing, squawking at each other and raking. Males fighting with each other for access to sexually available females is another example of aggressive behavior. Following such behavior, the aggressors will often touch each other in a social way, almost as if they are "making up". Sometimes the aggressive behavior is more psychological (e.g. taking an arched or "S" position) than physical (e.g. fin and tail slaps, open mouths, squawking). https://www.instagram.com/p/ByuQM7kAidy/?igshid=1si2vpw53r5bq
