🐬Happy National Dolphin Day!🐬

Today, we celebrate these amazing mammals and the important role they play in marine ecosystems! In addition to being top predators, these cetaceans can often show us a lot about the health of their habitats!

Humpback 🐋's worldwide have been photographed playing with kelp. A favourite game seems to be flinging kelp from their flippers onto their heads, creating a seaweed wig. We're not fully sure why do they do it, but WDC's Ali Wood has some good theories 👉https://t.co/EMUuUZHQHX

"I'm still dazzled by the fact that less than 10% of the ocean has been explored, let alone mapped. We have creatures that are just so exotic, you look at them and think ‘eat your heart out, Luke Skywalker’." @SylviaEarle
