Unit V have obviously come into the Lambatam ... Close to shore... To hide from the bands of pilot whales passing off our coast right now. See previous post showing the scars of last week's encounters ... We do not normally drop on feeding calves. But I have been tracking this pair to get this image of the calf upside down with its lower jaw actually in the Mammary gland slit. It is my hypothesis that the youngster then rolls its tongue like a straw and sucks out the milk.

So I had to make that drop.

Last Sunday I got the same pair feeding during a sleep session. Particles of milk floating around.

This is what our ladies have to go through to protect themselves from pilot whale attacks. We had a batch of pilot whales last week and I know that units V, Group of Seven, A and possibly J were visited by these "cheetahs of the sea"
