\nLooks like that yesterday the sperm whales
\ntook a day off, but today they were again with us. <\/span>Then we went to see the sperm whales showing the tails. And to finish we could see our resident species bottlenose dolphin. Also, our big boat saw the tourist from azorean waters, the <\/span>Atlantic spotted dolphin<\/a>.<\/span>

\nOn Pico Island, it was
\na day full of sperm whales. One of the groups we saw today goes through every

\ncommon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
