The whale tour

After Morocco we took a whale tour in the Strait of Gibraltar.This was one of the photographs I took of the killer whales. The Strait is a very special place for marine life because the currents between the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic sea mix and the are lots of nutrients in the water. This attracts lots fish. And fish attract bigger fish. And bigger fish attract dolphins and whales. And whales attract tourists. So that's why we went there, to see whales. The first whales we saw were Pilot whales. They were quite easy going.
After that we saw some Bottle nosed dolphins just behind them, they were amazing. They jumped and splashed and they did what a dolphin is supposed to do. We stayed with the dolphins quite a lot of time, and after that the serious whale hunt began:
We headed to the Moroccan coast were the Moroccan fishermen were fishing for tuna. Tuna is the killer whale's specialty. So what they do is they wait for the fishermen to catch the tuna and eat it up before they pull up the line. This was probably one of the highlights of our journey.
There they were, a pack of twelve killer whales just in front of our boat. We saw them for at least fifteen minutes .Until it was time to go. I had a very nice time on the whale tour, and I hope I can do it again some time.
