Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Full Moon Lagoon Party
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Full Moon Lagoon Party
Yesterday was the first time in a few weeks I saw a large group of dolphins. Several pods were in and out at different times.
Usually when we have a full moon they like to party and yesterday was one of those days. The play came in spurts over several hours. They also enjoyed just hanging out relaxing in the current.
You’ll see the dolphin that is just slightly popped up has a little red scratch. Those are called rake marks. Dolphins use their teeth when they are being aggressing but also when engaging in amorous activity leaving rake marks.
This dolphin with the fresh rake mark was enjoying quite a bit of snuggles and hugs in a group with other dolphin of all ages.
They all rolled around being very playful off and on throughout the day. To give you an idea of playful teeth behavior, check out the last photo, it isn’t from today but it shows a dolphin playfully using his/her teeth on the other dolphin.
Stay tuned for more tales!
