Perth - Rockingham - Dolphin Watching - we went on an adventure to find a pod of 20 dolphins. As it was explained to me, the adult male and adolescent male dolphins swin in their own pod distinct from the females and nursing calves. We found the group of females and calves and they swam with our boat. I am pictured on the boat in pearls no less camera at the ready but the best I could do was the second picture with the fins of the dolphins. Most of the time I photographed blank ocean even though seconds before as many as 5 dolphins were swimming and jumping out of the water. What really got the dolphins excited was when another boat pulled up and humans jumped into the water and attempted to swim with them in their own element. It apparently scars the dolphins permanently if human swimmers grab and touch them because the mucous coating on their skin is taken off and they get a sun burn and permanent white scar.
