A beautiful tribute to ‘Riptide’ who sadly passed away yesterday 🐬 🌈 ❤️

We are deeply saddened to inform all our followers of the passing of 'Riptide'.
A report yesterday morning of a deceased Bottlenose Dolphin on Traeth Gwyn beach (Quay West) lead to an investigation where Sea Watch Foundation were quickly present on the scene and able to identify the individual as our beautiful Riptide.

This Dolphin was one of our favourites amongst all crew and passengers whom we could always use as an example of how we are able to identify individual Dolphins through their dorsal fins on their back.

Riptide's 'Dolphinality'
Riptide was first identified in 1992 thanks to sightings data collected by the Sea Watch Foundation .
A voracious hunter, we would see Riptide launch through the water after fish, throw fish out the water and display some very impressive breaches.

Riptide was a bit of an anomaly Dolphin because we had no idea of his/her gender!
From what we have learned about Bottlenose Dolphin society, the women stay in a pod with their young, males form alliances and the juveniles form 'teenage pods' for a while.
Riptide was a HUGE Dolphin. The size of a male with lots of notches out of its dorsal fin (another typical male characteristic). So by first impressions looking at Riptide we would assume Male...
HOWEVER
Riptide loved to hang out with males and females! 🤣 A main member of our local 'maternity pod' With Ghost and Spirit! Even on numerous occasions swimming alongside little calf Spirit like a babysitter! A typical female characteristic.
So we were always debating amongst our team whether we thought Riptide was male or female. Unless we managed to capture a photo of the underside of the Dolphin (believe us, we tried) we could not get 100% confirmation.

Due to the unfortunate circumstances though we can finally confirm that Riptide was indeed a big, handsome bodacious MALE thought to be in his 40s - which for Bottlenose Dolphins is a good age (average lifespan 40-50 years).

For our team working on the boats he has taught us more about the lives of Bottlenose Dolphins and the fact that they do seem to indeed take part in paternal care of young.
Within Riptide's pod throughout the years there have been a number of calves born and now knowing his gender we hope that some of the calves born into this pod would be sired by him. In particular our adorable little Spirit whom he would swim with on numerous occasions.
Male Bottlenose Dolphins in some areas of the world have been known to take part in 'infanticide' where as it sounds, the older males will try kill a calf to then mate with the female mother (as morbid as it is to say). Riptide showed the complete opposite behaviour with Spirit, caring for the young Dolphin and also mother Ghost.
Whether Riptide is the biological father of Spirit, will never know for sure, but we hold on to this dear thought and hope that his 'Spirit' lives on amongst this pod.

All boat companies and marine charities in New Quay will mourn the loss of Riptide and we come together to share memories, photos and own personal experiences with this Dolphin. We all get to know our locals from working out on the water most days and we get to educate our passengers about their lives and biology. This Dolphin has taught us a great deal and given us all amazing memories and we will miss him dearly.

We encourage all of our and friends to share your own experiences and memories with Riptide below and of course please do share with us any photos and videos of him too! We'd love to see them.

We currently do not know the actual cause of death, however we would assume that it would most likely be through old age.
Swim over that rainbow bridge big boy and we hope you have a plentiful supply of big fish to chase up there 💙
