Enjoy a minute of calm with this Atlantic Spotted Dolphin, filmed in slow motion. The curious individual came over to investigate our tour leader's camera (echolocating on it to see what it was all about!) on our latest 'Whales & Dolphins of the Azores' holiday. The pod of ~40 dolphins followed our boat for 20 minutes, leaping from the water and playing. Whilst this is common behaviour, our guests were thrilled to have an underwater view of the pod too!

Atlantic spotted dolphins favour the warm, shallow waters along the continental shelf of the Atlantic Ocean, typically travelling in pods of five to fifteen individuals. These social groups are sometimes structured by age or sex. Calves are born without the species’ characteristic spots, which begin to emerge after their first year. As the dolphins mature, the spots deepen in colour and spread across the body, becoming more prominent with age. 🎥: Michael Scholl #saveourseasfoundation #dolphin #
