Believe is two Pink dolphins... my second encounter with them...it's still so exciting...
No great photos, as they were too fast for me..."
Thanks to June Jensen for sharing this awesome sighting.
June said: "Today at 11:30-12:00 my husband and I spotted a pod of dolphins swimming (4-6) between Brani Island (the Terminal) and Sentosa (near the Golf course). I believe it is the Indo-pacific hump-backed dolphin due to the small dorsal fin and they seemed a bit pink-ish when they were closer to us. They were swimming back and forth, disappearing in between - like they were fishing. I wonder how polluted or clean the harbour is since they chose this place....
Pretty amazing - it definitely made my day"
More about wild dolphins in Singapore and other sightings of them.
What gives me a warm fuzzy feeling is not only knowing that there are wild dolphins in Singapore, but also that there are kind people at sea who look out and share their sightings!
Thank you to everyone who report sightings of special marine creatures such as dolphins and sea turtles.
How can we help protect our sea turtles and dolphins?
- Stop littering.
- Stop mass balloon releases
Balloons and soft plastic kill sea turtles, slowly and painfully. Balloons, plastic bags, nylon rope, styrofoam are swallowed by sea turtles which mistake these for jellyfish. One report found that sea turtles are selectively preferring to eat soft plastics over other types of rubbish.
