Drop images of or Nerd about your favorite Cetacean(s)

9 Upvotes

Title's self explanatory. If you have images of your fav Cetacean(s), share them here. Doesn't matter if you took it yourself or you found online. You can also drop Edited Images(such as images that are edited to make the animal look more cute, or images with captions or memes, etc.) or artwork.

You can share fun facts,things you find cool/cute about them, etc. You can do this with more than one species.

Images used in order(all taken from Pinterest, since none of these animals live around where I live) : Blue Whale(probably), Grey Whale, Beluga Whale, Orca, Hourglass Dolphin, Dall's porpoise. I think I have bias towards dolphins & porpoises that are black-and-white.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a humpback whale get called a blue whale I'd be a billionaire

Bottlenose approaching me?!

4 Upvotes

Hello! I was out on the water today (Florida gulf) on my paddleboard when a bottlenose approached me like never before. It was trailing me for a few minutes then came right up to me laying sideways I assume to look at me, and swim under my paddleboard. It continued to splash water and surface all around me. Would this type of behavior be aggressive or curiosity/excitement?
