San Francisco – A California boat captain has captured a rare video of a super pod of more than 2,000 dolphins that break on the coast of the Bay of Monterey, including the most elusive Dolphin of the right whale of the north.
Northern right whale dolphins are often seen further from the coast and in deeper waters, but Evan Brodsky, a captain and cameraman with the private company of Bour of the Bour Monterey Bay Bay Bour Watch company, found the mammals Last week about 11 miles from the port. Dolphins are one of the two species of dolphins without a dorsal fin.
“Everyone is soft,” Brodsky said, and joked, “when they jump, they look like flying eyebrows.”
Brodsky left around noon on Friday with two other crew members who conducted investigations when they saw a dozen dolphins. They followed the capsule until they estimated that there were more than 2,000 of them, including light -gray baby calves, and several hundred dolphins of white sides of the Pacific.
“We were so excited that it was difficult to keep in our emotions. We had the biggest smiles from ear to ear, ”he said, adding that one of his co -workers may have shed a tear in sight.
The Dolphins of the right whales of the north live in pods from 100 to 200, according to the conservation of whales and non -profit dolphins. They are gregarious and highly social are already mixed with other species of dolphins, including Risso’s dolphins, a super pod, of which Brodsky captured in videos of drones last month.
Adults have about 10 feet and weigh more than 200 pounds, Brodsky said.
People come from all over the world to try to see a dolphin of whales right in the north in the deep underwater cannons of the bay, said Colleen Talty, Marine Biologist of Monterey Bay Whale Watch. Monterey is about 120 miles south of San Francisco.
She said dolphins could be grouping to defend themselves from predators, feed on the same food or socialize.
“We don’t always see baby dolphins,” he said, “so that is quite pleasant.”
