How many kinds of dolphins are there?

Dolphins are small toothed whales with more than 30 species.

1, rotating dolphin?

It is about 2.4 meters long and usually keeps a long distance from the ships in the morning, because most of them are resting at this time; In the afternoon, you will have a better chance to get close to them, and you can even ride the wind and waves with the strings of the boat, or swim in parallel with the boat. This is a better shot. ?

2. Tropical spotted dolphins?

This dolphin is about 2.6 meters long and likes to swim to the bow to ride the wind and waves. As long as the speed of the ship is right, it will follow the ship for a long time. To seize this opportunity, shoot this dolphin. ?

3. Swift dolphin?

The body length can reach 3.8 meters, that is, the patterned dolphin. Among the small cetaceans, this dolphin is a large one, and generally has a high tolerance for fishing boats, that is to say, it is not afraid of boats (the appearance of old gods), and it is also the most common species on the east coast, with more shooting opportunities. ?

4. Little killer whale?

Curiosity about boats seems to have increased. Although this killer whale is called a whale, its maximum total length is only 2.6 meters, which is not as good as that of Swiss dolphins. Will wander around the boat, rich in action, so we should seize the opportunity at any time, so as not to miss the wonderful lens! ?

5. bottlenose dolphins?

The body length can reach 3.8 meters; In foreign countries, bottlenose dolphins often go to the bow to ride the wind and waves, which is the main shooting object. However, it is rare for bottlenose dolphins in Taiwan Province Province to swim to the bow to ride the wind and waves. Even though a bow has braved the wind and waves in the past experience, dolphins are extremely fast, unpredictable and difficult to shoot. ?

6. Freund's dolphin?

This kind of dolphin is almost always a fixed behavior when it meets a ship-the word "escape", and it swims very fast, so it is very difficult to photograph this kind of dolphin. It is suggested to use a long lens to capture pictures, which has a better chance to shoot their beautiful images. But there are exceptions, sometimes the whole group will be scattered on the sea and braving the wind and waves at the bow. This opportunity is rare and we should make good use of it. ?

6. Big-winged whale?

Body length can reach 16 meters; Generally, the wonderful ecological photos we see are usually their jumps and waves. Mr. Lin Wenji from the Society of Natural Ecological Photography and the Whale Association captured this wonderful picture. Maybe we can ask him to share his shooting experience that day. ?

7. Little sperm whales and dwarf sperm whales?

Species that often run aground along the coast of Taiwan Province Province, although occasionally found in the sea, are extremely sensitive to the engine sound of ships. As soon as the engine sound changes, they dive immediately, and it is not easy to get close, so the shooting opportunity and difficulty are high. ?

8. Long-nosed dolphins

I like to travel in groups and form large groups of dozens to hundreds or even thousands of people. In the tropical waters of the eastern Pacific, he swims with a large group of spotted dolphins, and sometimes with melon whales and killer whales. Swim fast, with a speed of more than 20 kilometers per hour. Lively temperament, good at diving, the whole body can jump out of the water 1~2 meters high, varied. After jumping out of the water, it can rotate around the body axis several times before re-entering, so it has the nickname of "rotating dolphin" They are not afraid of ships and often jump and play with them at the bow. ?

9. Sarawak dolphins

Sarawak dolphins are exotic tropical species, swimming in groups, with dozens to hundreds or even thousands. It often swims with spotted dolphins, melon whales and pilot whales, and often swims with blue and white dolphins and beaked dolphins in tropical waters. Because its shape is similar to that of blue-and-white dolphins and beaked dolphins, it is difficult to identify it from a distance at sea.
