Story time!!! 📚
When Whoops was a newborn, she accompanied her mother, Wedges, while pursuing large golden trevally. 24 years later, we witnessed Whoops catch her own golden trevally for the first time— Whoops’ calf, Whiskey, was nearby and one day might continue this legacy!

[Australian Geographic @ausgeo]

At the time, experts speculated the whales could have been ill, or suffering stress caused by loud underwater noise.

Now, scientists at @CurtinMedia are testing theories:

Did you know baby dolphins have whiskers? This baby was on its second day of life when we saw it yesterday! The whiskers (on top of the rostrum) will fall out in a couple days, but until then they help sense things in the environment while they’re still learning to be a dolphin.
