My first thought was that this had to be photoshopped not that they wouldn't play like this, but how the hell doesn't the dolphin slide off. So I went searching :)

Awesome!!!

HUMPBACK WHALE AND DOLPHIN

Kauai, Hawaii, USA

Kailua Kona, hawaii, USA

“I was observing a strange interaction between a pair of bottlenose dolphins and a humpback whale, when it became apparent that the two species were collaborating in some way. The dolphin was lying on a humpback whale’s head while it was slowly swimming along. Looking through my camera lens the stunt appeared to be orchestrated by mutual “agreement.” The whale very slowly—and vertically—lifted the dolphin into the air. I expected the dolphin to wriggle atop the humpback’s head to get off, but it just laid still and arched, trying to stay on top of the whale’s snout. In this frame the dolphin was beginning its slippery return to the sea. Once back in the ocean, the dolphin swiftly swam away with the other dolphin, leaping joyfully as if they had just scored a coup!”

i love dolphins, when i heard that poachers catch dolphins by inflicting a wound on one of them, knowing that the other dolphins will never leave a colleague behind, then they trap the poor porpoises

i knew i loved dolphins :D

Dolphins and Whales are significant earth spirits with an intelligence equal to and even better than most humans. (For a start they dont kill each other):rolleyes:

If you have ever come into contact with one, and you get that eye contact, you will be reduced to tears. I was and several of my friends have also.
There is a spiritual link beyond anything you can describe:)

Great picture, thanks.


Nifty:D

You will probably be able to identify with this then :)

In Hervey Bay, where the humpbacks come every year, whale watching is big business. You are not allowed to get too close, but this person I know, got in the water (very naughty) and they came to play with him.
