Loly is showing us her Baby
16. September 2006
Our webmasters Heike and Mario are here at the moment. Here is a short report of what they have seen:
We have just been in Tarifa for a couple of days and already experienced a number of wonderful excursions. We have seen pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins really close - they came directly to the boat and were as interested in us as we were in them.
Loly and her companion
On our tour today we had a very special encounter. When we were approaching a group of bottlenose dolphins, Katharina suddenly cried out, “There is Loly and she has a baby.” So far, we had only known this dolphin with the fungus on her fin from the weblog and now we could meet her ‘in person’. She was passing our boat quite closely so that we could even catch sight of her baby. It was nice to see that the young one has not yet been infected with the fungus.
The baby directly in front of Loly
For us, it was of course very exciting to see the dolphin, of which we had already seen some pics on the internet, with our own eyes.
