Wild Pantropical Spotted Dolphins

Dolphins-World — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 05:30:31 +0000

An underwater camera tries to film wild Pantropical Spotted dolphins that swim very close to a boat. This species are very skilled swimmers on both daylight or in the dark. They spend most of their time in surface waters, but they occasionally dive into depths up to 1,000 feet, mainly to catch their prey, as there are larger concentrations of life in deeper waters. In this video we can see that it was not easy to film them at a short distance; however from far we can see their beautiful and coordinated jumps while moving from place to place.

Dolphins-World — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 05:30:31 +0000

Great video filmed in a water park in Vancouver, Canada where we can see every detail of how the Pacific White-Sided Dolphins jump out of water. This species is one of the most eager to perform stunts and probably the most widespread in aquariums in North America. Their incredible ability allows them to fall over their backs, something not possible for some animals. One of the main tourist attractions of the Vancouver Aquarium are their marine mammals. Dolphins, beluga whales and sea otters are some of the species that can be found in this aquarium of 9,000 square meters.

The shows of dolphins in water parks around the world are one of the biggest attractions to the people, it is very exciting for both children and adults to watch them closely and see the stunts they make out of water. In this video, a show at an aquarium in Vancouver, Canada, presents the skill and coordination of these cetaceans. Many question the welfare of dolphins in these places, but it is also known that in the wild they are constantly at risk of being killed or injured by their top predators: humans.

Wild Pacific White-Sided Dolphins

In this video we can see two interesting issues: the dolphins perform amazing moves on the water like if they were a group of synchronized swimmers and the other that they are in their natural habitat surrounded by the elements part of their life cycle.

These dolphins live in the cold waters of the North Pacific ranged from the Peninsula of Baja California, Mexico and South Alaska to the Sea of Japan. It is believed that there are approximately one million individuals of wild Pacific White-Sided Dolphins.
