KAIKOURA PENINSULA, NEW ZEALAND: The Dusky dolphins perform a series of mid-air acrobatics. BREATHTAKING footage of cheeky dolphins playing with two forty-foot long humpback whales have been captured. The series of magnificent pictures show the super pod of more than one-hundred-and-fifty dusky dolphins interrupting the two whales as they made their way to warmer waters to breed. The images show the dolphins putting on a performance for a group of stunned tourists on a whale watching boat trip. Not to be out done by the athletic dolphins, the humpbacks performed a series of synchronised twists
KAIKOURA PENINSULA, NEW ZEALAND: The Dusky dolphins perform a series of mid-air acrobatics. BREATHTAKING footage of cheeky dolphins playing with two forty-foot long humpback whales have been captured. The series of magnificent pictures show the super pod of more than one-hundred-and-fifty dusky dolphins interrupting the two whales as they made their way to warmer waters to breed. The images show the dolphins putting on a performance for a group of stunned tourists on a whale watching boat trip. Not to be out done by the athletic dolphins, the humpbacks performed a series of synchronised twists and turns in view of their audience. The shots were snapped by Dennis Buurman (63), general manager of the Encounter Kaikoura which offers sea tours at the Kaikoura Peninsula, New Zealand.
