are very social animals and travel in groups. Can be found in the Alboran Sea where it is often seen in the vicinity of the island that gives this stretch of sea in the days of calm. Although due to degradation of the marine environment and overfishing that are left without food, are increasingly scarce.
These photos were taken in the Alboran Sea in the Atlantic but, taking advantage of a family of whales approached our ship. It's always nice when you are on duty in the wheelhouse at sea with nothing in sight, be visited by these marine relatives. We hope that together we succeed in life will not disappear from our seas and oceans.
