Help us name this females sperm whales!

Today in São Miguel Island we had a very exciting day full of action! In the morning we saw three different dolphin species, our resident species; Atlantic spotted dolphins a very big group, very social and curious. It was a very big group full of babies so we spent a nice time in their company and finally the always welcome stripped dolphins with their typical behavior in our waters, jumping a lot, swimming very fast and changing direction.

In the afternoon we went very far away after stopping with the bottlenose dolphins to see sperm whales!  We saw at least three of them socializing.

A hammer shark was also seen, very shy as usual but very interesting to see.

In Pico Island, the day was perfect as well. We saw one of the female sperm whale group that comes here every summer on “holidays” and also a big group of curious spotted dolphins.
