THIS is awesome!

I’m sure they will be fine, after all they’re highly clever and precise!

Not read any news about whales/dolphins being found ripped apart by boat rotors yet anyway which is good :)

Unfortunately from memory dolphins, porpoises and certainly manatees are quite often badly hurt by speed boat props in some parts of the world :(


Very cool video :)
 
This makes me sad :(

Aye, one of the worst things about it is, that IIRC there is an area in Florida with an endangered species of Manatee and because of idiots with speed boats, and the curious nature of the manatee a large proportion of the local population carry prop scars and they are often found badly hurt :(
This is despite, from memory, a long ongoing education campaign and warnings to the public about the risks signposted in the area (I've got a feeling they've got signs up at various marinas etc).

Speed boats are fun and all that, but people need to remember that they are a serious danger to wildlife (and to humans, but humans at least can understand the risks if we care to).
 
That would be a great experience but most of us would never be that lucky.

I was in Tenerife in January and came across a group of about 200 dolphines hunting sardines; was an amazing experience and one of those once in a lifetime moments

It's a shame but one day I hope to see such amazing things from Wildlife before it's too late. I thought being able to see the Northern Lights 3 nights in a row was quite spectacular in itself but seeing such huge animals alongside you and carrying such speed must be something else.

Swimming with dolphins seems the most realistic right now :o
 
Ive done something similar with dolphins in Mauritius when we hired a speed boat, I have it on video but sadly no way to get it off easily. Not the same as big Orca's mind, that is proper special.
