  • Some more whales from Magdalena Bay last week. Remember how I said they weren't the prettiest?

  • A school of mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) circle an olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), potentially attracted by the small fish hiding in its shadow.

  • Two striped marlin herd a sardine baitball. Seeing these guys hunt in the dozens has been the highlight of my week in Bahía Magdalena, Mexico. We also saw whales, makos, breaching threshers, dolphins, mahi mahi, countless turtles and lots and lots of sea lions. More pics to follow!

  • Last week, I finally got to tick off one of my favourite sharks from my "animals I want to see" list, the shortfin mako! These are believed to be the fastest sharks (although now, some claim it might be the salmon shark) and their big, black eyes and crazy-looking jaws certainly add to their appeal. Here, one can be seen sharing the water, and the afternoon sun, with photographer extraordinaire Fabrice Guerin!<br />
That day, we saw three different individuals in the water (including a tiny baby, maybe 70cm long, but just as confident as the larger ones), and many more breaching!<br />

  • Every winter, the grey whales of the eastern Pacific gather in the sheltered bays of the Californian peninsula. They make the long trip down from the cold and rich waters off Alaska to give birth to their calves, nurse them and mate. This annual migration is believed to be the longest annual migration of any mammal! What makes this species so interesting to the layman is not just their prehistoric look (let's be honest, they're not exactly the most photogenic whale...), but most of all their amazing curiosity. They regularly approach whale watching boats, and often even establish physical contact. The whales seem in no way bothered by the boats and will sometimes even atempt to play with them. This particular individual stayed with us for more than 15 minutes, slowly spinning underneath the boat, gently bumping it with its mouth and tail, and even showing us its belly a few times!
