North Atlantic
White Sided Dolphin Photo Album
The toothed whale that we see pretty
frequently on Jeffrey's Ledge is the North Atlantic White Sided Dolphin.
These playful whales are always a hit with everyone on the boat. They love
to play in the boat's wake and will often times swim along side us or dart
back and forth under us. The pressure waves from the moving boat helps
the Dolphins to swim much more efficiently so we don't have to worry about
hitting them like we do with other whale species. They will often times
breach (jump) clear out of the water which is pretty impressive to see.
All photos were taken on the Granite
State Whale Watch out of Rye, NH.
