Responsible whale watching manages the potential impacts to the animals that are being watched, and allows the animals to determine the nature and duration of interactions as much as possible. By analyzing the behavior of the animals and giving them the space they need, the encounters get even better and we are often rewarded by happy cetaceans checking us out and starting their own « human watching tours » !

Cetaceans are very noise sensitive and the amount of boats around them has a huge impact on their lives, which is why we should always let the animals choose if they want to interact with us or not.

If you witness a disrespectful interaction remember to take videos so it can be reported to the IFCN!
Let’s work all together to make the ocean safe for the animals 🐬🐋🐠🦈

Contributing to research ! 🔬

Wednesday our crew on the Sea Safaris made a sad encounter. They spotted a dead animal floating at the surface! This little shark belong to the family of the Deania profundorum. They live in the depths, 800 meters deep or more ! IFCN was alerted about the animal and asked for it to be brought in Funchal’s marina. They picked it up hoping to maybe discover a new subspecies in Madeira’s waters.
Unfortunately this kind of shark is endengered because of deepsea fishing and protected!

Did you know that dolphins can turn pink?
Yes, dolphins actually DO blush (their bellies turn pink), but it’s not because they’re embarrassed. Instead, it’s a way that dolphins dump excess heat when they’re active! Just like us when we get to warm doing exercise.

Yesterday was very special… we encountered THE apex predator of the ocean: ORCAS !
After humans, orcas are the most widespread mammal in the animal kingdom. The species ranges from the Arctic to the Antarctic and can be found everywhere, from the freezing waters of the north and south to the warm waters along the equator, including the Hawaiian Islands, Galapagos Islands, and the Gulf of California!

However, despite their wide-reaching range, some orca populations are considered endangered.

🐬 Dolphins are mammals, which means that just like us, babies drink their mother’s milk.
Guided by their mothers, young dolphins can begin to eat a few little fish when they are only a few months old. Over a period of years, young dolphins learn to catch fish on their own, and they drink less of their mother’s milk.

Pilot whales are renowned for their highly social nature. They live in tight-knit groups known as pods, which can vary in size from small groups of 10 individuals to astonishing assemblies of up to 1,000 members. Leading these pods is a dominant female, the matriarch, who guides the group’s decisions and movements.

The Atlantic spotted dolphins have a unique communication system. They interact through cries, whistles, and various high-pitched calls. By means of these sounds, the dolphins can warn each other about threats, inform about a playful mood or a newly found food source!

🐙 Meet the Portuguese man o’ war (Physalia physalis).
Although it superficially resembles a jellyfish, the Portuguese man o’ war is in fact a siphonophore.
It has numerous microscopic venomous cnidocytes which deliver a painful sting powerful enough to kill fish. These magnificent creatures can also be observed during our tours when we are lucky 🍀🌊

Big teeth alert ! 🦷 🐬
Friday afternoon we encountered a huge pod of false killer whales (pseudorca crassidens).
Did you know that even orcas are sometimes scared of them ? They have the reputation to have a very big appetite! But no worries, there are no attacks reported on humans (:

Yesterday we were blessed by the visit of the largest animal on earth : the blue whale ! 🐋
With a maximum length of 33meters long for 250 tons, this gentle giant has been traveling the planet for thousands of years. Despite his gigantic measurements, we don’t know much about them, not even their migratory route.
The ocean is still full of mysteries and surprises !

A special thanks to Andy Lawson for the pictures and to Richard Sears for collaborating and matching this animal to his catalogue in the Azores. 📸🌊
