Dolphin and swimmer
Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) playing with a swimmer. The bottlenose dolphin is distributed around the globe, with the exception of the polar oceans and inland seas. It lives in groups of between 10-15 individuals, but much larger groups have been recorded. This dolphin commonly frolics around ships and seems to enjoy human company in the water, showing no fear. Its main prey is fish, which it catches during agile underwater chases

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming interaction between a Bottlenose dolphin and a swimmer. The Bottlenose dolphin, known for its global distribution except in polar oceans and inland seas, is seen playfully engaging with the swimmer in the crystal-clear waters. Living in groups of 10-15 individuals, these dolphins have been observed forming even larger pods. Fearlessly frolicking around ships and displaying an affinity for human companionship, this intelligent mammal seems to revel in the company of humans underwater. With its agile swimming abilities, it effortlessly chases after fish - its primary prey - during exhilarating underwater pursuits. The image showcases not only the beauty of marine life but also highlights the harmonious bond that can exist between different species. It exemplifies how nature's wonders can captivate us as we explore their habitat. In this photograph, a male swimmer joyfully interacts with this friendly creature while submerged beneath the sea's surface. As he snorkels alongside this fascinating animal, both man and dolphin appear at ease in each other's presence. This remarkable snapshot serves as a reminder of our shared connection with wildlife and underscores the importance of preserving their natural habitats. Through scientific research conducted by biologists and zoologists alike, we gain valuable insights into understanding these incredible creatures better.
