“Thanks to Barbara Bender at All Aboard Sailing for these amazing photos of Southern Resident orcas today - including her great photo of new L pod calf L122 rolling over mom and showing the world he is a BOY! Though we could really use some females to help sustain the population, it’s always great to discover the gender of the newest members of this community.”

Mother and calf, Bottlenose Dolphins by Allen Holmes Via Flickr: Just had a few days photographing the Moray Firth Dolphins. Although photography was a challenge due to poor light, the Dolphins were amazing. Here’s a very young calf (3weeks), a rare full breach for such a young one. It’s mother is called Porridge. ID 240.

a gif as reference of the false catshark (Pseudotriakis microdon), this one was found at more than 1400 m below sea level near Osprey Reef.

Reaching 3.0 m (9.8 ft) in length, this heavy-bodied shark can be readily identified by its elongated, keel-like first dorsal fin.

Common Dolphin by Nick Grimshaw

dolphins enjoy surfing, or riding, both the wakes made by large boats and the ocean waves they sometimes share with surfers. this activity, say scientists, is the result of natural behaviour adapted from swimming in a mother dolphin’s ‘slip stream’ when they are youngsters.

as surf photographer david powdrell notes, “you can almost see the joy in the eyes of a dolphin as they fly across the face of the wave. there’s an adage in the surfing world that the best surfer in the water is the one having the most fun. i can’t tell if it’s the dolphin or the surfer who’s the best surfer.”
