Pour la première fois, des cachalots ont été filmés frappant congénères et objets avec des coups de tête pouvant atteindre 200 kN. Agression, compétition ou jeu brutal ? #cachalots #MarineMammalScience #écologie

🤔 Ever wondered how we study dolphin diets? 🐬
We've created a short animation, narrated by Iolo Williams, diving into our #DolphinDietDetectives project! 💩 🧪 🔬

It was a wild time in the field last week, where our staff saw 6 mating attempts, including this one! Often we will see 1 or 2 at a time, but 6 was a bit over average. Guess they were feeling springtime!

Back on land and thankful for one more fieldwork trip for some #Bioacoustics and #MarineMammalScience safely in the books ✅🦑🧪
✨ Highlights from our #DolphinDietDetectives Stall at the Aberystwyth University Science Fair last week 🔬🐬
🧑🤝🧑 We discussed how dolphins find prey, what they eat & showcased how we’re working to discover more about their diet by collecting poo samples & extracting fish DNA! 🍽️

Two yellow buoys with weed on float on the water’s surface, gently bobbing with the waves. Sunlight reflects off the rippling sea, creating a shimmering effect. In the background, green hills and cliffs stretch along the coastline under a partly cloudy sky.
So happy to see these today!

📰 Rare Sightings in Cardigan Bay 🤔
👀 This year we’ve had 8 sightings of common #dolphins in #CardiganBay! Unusual for a species typically seen in deeper waters 🐬 A signal of changes in marine ecosystems - consequence of warming waters? Shifting food?🌊
