Risso dolphin rescue this morning. No DNA, just RSA.
Got a message on the local WhatsApp groups this morning about a stranded Risso's dolphin that had beached in a remote cove between Betty's and Pringle bay. Within 20 minutes, an entire community of locals had come together with spades and buckets, and towels and straps to dig a trench and safely carry the dolphin back out and see it swim off. Love to see it. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Some days, the best way to spend the day is simply slowing down with the dolphins 😌🐬

¿Qué animal es este? What animal is this? Visto en la costa norte de Tenerife (Los Dos Hermanos) en agosto. Spotted in the rough surf off northern Tenerife (Los Dos Hermanos).
Hi everyone! I filmed this near the rocky coast of Los Dos Hermanos in northern Tenerife in mid-August around 7h30pm.
At first I thought it might be a big fish, a dolphin, or even a shark but the movement in the rough surf is quite puzzling. Any biologists, researchers, or experts who could help? Any ideas what creature this could be?
¡Hola a todos! Grabé esto cerca de la costa rocosa de Los Dos Hermanos, en el norte de Tenerife, a mediados de agosto sobre las 19:30. Al principio pensé que podría ser un pez grande, un delfín o incluso un tiburón, pero el movimiento en el fuerte oleaje resulta bastante desconcertante. ¿Algún biólogo, investigador o experto que pueda ayudar?
¿Alguna idea de qué criatura podría ser?

How smart are dolphins?
I know dolphins are the second smartest animal to humans, but just how smart are they?
I saw a video of a pet rabbit meeting a dolphin, and the dolphin brought some seaweed and that had me curious, are they smart enough to pick up on a rabbit eating leafy greens to bring out seaweed as a gift? Or are they not that intelligent? (Or do they just do this regardless of if they picked up on that)

A quick hello from first-time mum Goose and her brand-new baby!
This little calf is still waiting for a name! What would you name this new addition to the Mandurah dolphin family?

Dolphins that hunt with sponges may show traces of culture in their gene activity, study finds
In Shark Bay, Australia, the dolphins put marine sponges over their snouts while feeling along the seafloor for fish. The habit may go hand in hand with subtle biological differences. What's happening?
Dolphins that engage in "sponging" carry epigenomic signatures distinct from those seen in other dolphins in the same population, according to ScienceAlert, which reported on a new analysis of Shark Bay's Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins.
The epigenome is the set of reversible chemical marks that can affect gene activity without changing the DNA sequence itself !

Got to spend some time with one of the newest additions to Mandurah's dolphin family yesterday 🐬🥹
No matter how many tours you do, seeing a baby dolphin alongside its mum is always a highlight.
