The pod of Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) that the lookout found in the South of Faial island has been around for at least 2 weeks. We easily recognized the group on the expedition due to the cuts that one of the individuals has in its tail.

This afternoon the whales were swimming towards South-west, offshore, so for us was harder to follow them. But we did it!

You can find the pictures that our marine biologist Maria took during this expedition. Enjoy and share!

Thank you very much for choosing Naturalist.pt. We hope you had an unforgettable experience.
