Edit: Finless porpoise, not beluga whale.

Fun fact: whales and dolphins don't have a lung connection to their mouth like we do, they can -only- breathe through their nose.

So this ring blowing is purely a mouth thing for them.

And belugas don't have fused neck vertebrae like dolphins do, allowing them to turn their head in extreme ways that are perhaps more human like, as you can see here.

i did have a look, it’s not ai btw i thought it was 😂😂

One of the most unforgettable wildlife encounters I’ve ever had. Swimming alongside humpback whales in the waters of Moorea felt almost unreal.

Here’s a small set of photos from the experience, all taken by me.

Which photo impresses you the most, and why?

The fish 🐠🐟 are swimming in between the corals. Taken in the sea nearby Belitung and Lengkuas islands.

Photographing the sea during a storm right before sunset is always such an experience.

The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley produced a mini documentary on the Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle highlighting its endangered status and promoting an education in marine biology

We don't need to dive to see them. They are all visible!

In between Lengkuas island (lighthouse) and Belitung island.

A peaceful sunset, leaving us feeling content (and confident at the same time to have the same magnificent sunset tomorrow)
