An anti-cap from England, this blog is to appreciate cetaceans both wild and captive. Any questions, feel free to ask away (related to the captivity debate or otherwise!)

Here is how it works: The dolphin finds an empty conch, then carefully positions the conch on the sea floor with the opening to the conch up. Eventually, small fish and other small sea life enter the open conch. The dolphin then picks up the conch, takes it to the surface, gives it a shake so that the small fish etc. fall out into his or her mouth.

I just read a newspaper article on how Italian fishermen are shooting dolphins for ‘being greedy’ and ‘eating all the mackeral’

It makes me want to smack my head against my desk it’s so ludicrous!

Lastest news on the Vaquita population.

SeaShepherd is on the scene, but still no real data on the population’s status. As well, it looks like fishing is still a problem. Even more sad they ditched their catch, to avoid getting arrested. A huge net of fish had to die in vain.
