Spinner Dolphins of the Pacific

Here's the remnants of a volcano. But that's not the important thing I wanted to tell you today. The important thing is what I want to show you right now. Out here looking for spinner dolphins. I have a feeling we're going to see some pretty soon. We're in love with each other. An island in the stream. That is what we are. No one in between. How can we be wrong? Sail away with me. There they are. They're all cetaceans. But the humpback whale is a mystic. That means he has no teeth. And he has two blowholes. Two nasal passages above his head. The dolphin, the spinner dolphin, the one we see here is an odontocene. Look how close we are to shore. He has one blowhole. He has teeth. And they can locate fish by echolocation. These guys like to swim in the wake that the boat creates. So they're the real tricksters. They find us. Hey, look who's here. The real tricksters. They love to make a wave. They'll just swim in the boat. If they're spinners, they like to jump out of the water and do a little spin. Milton's got a report. Milton! Shock! I found this. Spinners. Spotted. Spinners. Maybe we'll get one to jump out and do a few spins in here. Those guys are great. There's some more out there. Oh my god. Let's go. Woohoo! That's cool. Keep your eyes on them. These guys are swift. There's some up at the bow. I haven't seen spinner dolphins this close before. That was it. Okay, where'd they go? He's still right over here. Woohoo! Little baby. That's what you guys do with jigslaps. I think you learned that from a whale. Now they're all cetaceans. There's some out there too. I'm sorry. Dolphins and whales. Wow. This is a very big pod. Woohoo! Oh yeah! We got them all. Guys, you can't go out to find me. There's a little blooper over there. See the shine on their water. Yeah. Yeah!
