Species information
In Mauritius, we frequently see two distinct species of dolphins:
The Spinner Dolphin:
- This tripartite species has a white belly, light gray flanks, and a dark gray back. Its large bill makes it easy to identify.
- Adults typically weigh between 55lbs and 176lbs and range in size from 1,3 to 2,3 meters.
- Their lifespan is 25 years.
- There are the acrobats of the ocean. During a jump, they can spin eight times!
The Bottlenose Dolphin:
- So named because of its small, thick beak. He usually has a light gray color.
- The adult weighs between 330lbs and 1433lbs and measures between 2,3 and 3,8 meters.
- It has a life expectancy of 50 years.
- They have a ten-fold increase in hearing capacity over humans!
Dolphins move in groups known as "schools" and can swim 45 km/h.
During the day, they reside near the coast and reefs, and at night, they move farther offshore.
To enjoy these magical moments in the company of dolphins, you will have to get up early! Indeed, we try to be the first on the ocean, so we can watch and swim with them with RESPECT.
