Seafari

SEAFARI app allows users to report marine mammal sightings made worldwide. We also work very closely with Happywhale.

First attempt at creating a #whalewatching map for #CapeTown. ⚓️ marks a spot commonly used as a reference for a sighted #whale or #dolphin’s location. Binocular icon pinpoints a good location from which to spot #cetaceans. Work in progress! https://t.co/OWssjcIRtY

@VanessaPirotta And that little dig at “ Seth Effrikaa”!😂

@maria_m_belo @80_incognito Is “orca” really so much “nicer” than “Killer whale”? South Africa’s most renowned marine mammal scientist commented on this in his fantastic 2007 book “Whales and Dolphins of the Southern African Subregion”.

#Whale watching also provides terrestrial delights. A caracal was having a chill out session next to the road today, close to my favourite whale spotting location, in the far south of the Cape Peninsula, #CapeTown, #SouthAfrica

Bit of an advertising fail at Cape Town International Airport by @AmericanExpress. Promoting #SouthAfrica & #CapeTown but using #whale image NOT from SA and CT image is a mirrored image… @capetownint

[Seafari @SeafariApp]

Hey @CityofCT! You force us to get your crummy prepaid electricity meters that are nothing but trouble! Meters not responding, needing replacement, and then purchasing units via banking apps failing again and again! With the amount of rates I‘m paying I expect a lot better!

[Seafari @SeafariApp]

@VanessaPirotta And this youngster’s mom probably taught him/her all about Happywhale! Just look how the little whale perfectly presents that lower fluke to be photographed! (Video quality too low for me to check the fluke in WhaleID, unfortunately).

[Seafari @SeafariApp]

@VanessaPirotta So lovely! I love ALL whales, but I love Humpback whales just a teeny tiny bit more than the rest…😉🐳

This is what rabies looks like in cape fur seal pups.

The past two weeks have seen the first positive rabies cases in pups, with tired pups finding themselves on our beaches.

Please keep dogs and children away and report unusual behaviours.

@VanessaPirotta @SteveBackshall I actually added no. 900 for this feeding season to @happyhumpback a few minutes ago! If we crack 1000 I’m going to faint!🍾🕺

[Seafari @SeafariApp]

@its_The_Dr Here we go again… total BS narrative attached to this video that’s been debunked a long time ago. No sharks involved, just a dolphin feeding frenzy with a Bryde‘s whale joining in. https://t.co/PFwvGjeVMk

As the Humpback #whales start moving south from Dassen Island to #CapeTown I too am on the move to where the water and sky is blue…. https://t.co/8qHSLNIYMt

Small patches of wildflowers in urban areas can be just as effective as natural meadows in nurturing pollinator populations, a Polish study has found.

Feed me! Hungry Humpback #whale lunge feeding along west coast of #SouthAfrica, yesterday. It’s supergroup feeding time! Thanks to @MRI_Whale_Unit for taking me along! #weskus

[Seafari @SeafariApp]

Humpback #whale supergroup season off #SouthAfrica‘s west coast is ON! About 100 whales feeding (and stinking) between Dassen Island and Saldanha Bay yesterday. @MRI_Whale_Unit and licensed operator #WhaleExpeditionSA in the mix #weskus

With politics seemingly dominating everything the past few months let’s get back to science facts instead of political fiction!

[Erin Ross-Marsh @eclaireza]

Fun facts at the #SMM2024

- 20% of a manatee’s brain is used to process info from their sensory hairs 🪮

- Humpback whales have been recorded singing for 16hrs straight even while breathing 🎶

- 10% of southern right whales live to over 130 years 👵🏻

[Seafari @SeafariApp]

Sadly one of #CapeTown‘s feeding Humpback #whales has died…

@JayCaboz @CoronaAfrica @corona You’re missing out on all the feeding Humpbacks in False Bay!😉🐳

[Seafari @SeafariApp]

It’s been a wild winter of feeding fun in False Bay, #CapeTown, with 28 #Humpback #whales recorded feeding in the bay on multiple days the past 3 months and a few hundred more just passing through. Here’s this evening’s action happening mere metres next to the road to #CapePoint
