Nina

We know Nina since May 06th, 2012. In 2014 she became mother for the first time.

Nina takes loving care of her offspring. She often seems to want to show us her little one, but maybe she just wants to show her baby the boat.

Adopt Nina

Thank you for your support for the marine mammals and the ocean as a habitat! With a symbolic sponsorship you help us to advance our research work and educational projects in Spain.

This is how we have experienced Nina since the beginning of our adoption program:

2014

Nina is the proud mother of a curious baby and has often been near the boat since August.

2015

We often see the proud mother of a baby from summer 2014. Nina is always accompanied by her cheeky young who often comes curiously to the boat, looks up and dives down. So we also see Nina often. She has become one of the most popular female Pilot Whales among our guests.

2016

Nina has a baby again - the two often visit us at the boat. Her other little one is now a adolescent who frequently explores the world on his own and often swims along the boat.

2017

Nina often visits us at the boat. Her young one no longer swims with the mother, but is still in the same family. He also belongs to the curious who often marvel at our boat from below.

2018

Nina is still lovingly looking after her offspring, who still could be seen around her. The calf hardly moves away from the mother, but has recently become more curious and has often sought the proximity of the boat. Both swim in Oliver's family.

2019

We saw Nina 30 times. At times she was travelling with another family. But mostly with Gorro's family.

2020

Nina was always seen in the company of Oliver. We saw her 13 times in the short season of 2020, with Gorro sometimes joining the pair. Occasionally Nina came directly to the boat.

2021

We were able to watch Nina 29 times, as always accompanied by Oliver. Only twice was he not at her side. The handsome male Gorro still likes to join the two of them.

2022

We didn't see Nina very often in April and May. It was only from June onwards that she was seen regularly and often. We observed her a total of 43 times. Apart from 3 sightings, we always saw her in the company of Oliver. Nina also sometimes comes very close to the boat.

2023

We saw Nina in every month of the season, most frequently in May (8 times) and August (9 times). We saw her 38 times in total. Apart from four sightings, Oliver was always at her side. Nina did not often come close to the boat, but we were able to see her up close 4 times.

2024

This season, we spotted Nina most often in September. We saw her 11 times (out of a total of 45) this month. As usual, Oliver swam alongside her. Six times she was seen in really large groups of over 30 animals.
