Futurismo Biologists TeamToday we enjoyed the company of three of the resident species we can sight here in the Azores!
Our lookouts spotted some sperm whales far away from Ponta Delgada, but before we got to the designated area, we could see some different groups of common dolphins! This species is recognizable thanks to the yellow stripe they have on the sides of the body. After some time with them, we moved on to see something bigger.
Once with the whales, we first saw a big male sperm whale who showed us its tail at the end, when he went for a dive! Then, another male appeared very close, and we noticed that he was playing with a plastic box.. So we waited patiently, and finally the box was picked up from the water.
On our way back, we found a huge group of bottlenose dolphins, the bigger grey ones. They were very social and curious, lots of them bowriding and splashing in front of our catamaran. The treasures of the amazing Azores!
