		Being surrounded by ten, to hundreds, to thousands, of dolphins exhibiting all their various behaviors and activities brings so much delight to every ones trip that very often it is an experience of a life time for them.
		Northern Rightwhale dolphins are definitely the most sleek and silky smooth looking dolphins as they rise up and out of the water shooting like bullets because they do not have a dorsal fin on their back.
		The scars on the dolphins match their own mouths so don't think for a minute that these beautiful highly intelligent creatures are only sweet docile animals because they can really do some biting when they get mad at each other.

		Unlike the dolphins they rarely leap out of the water and are hard to spot, only showing a dark back and small triangular fin.

		They are believed to be more coastal then their cousins, the more pelagic whitesided dolphins, and they probably favour habitats close to the continental shelves.
		Whitebeakes are frequently observed hunting and feeding in association with other dolphins, such as the whitesided dolphin, rissos dolphin and the bottlenose dolphin.
		The whitebeaked dolphin is one of the species that is little understood, and the research about their sound production and eccolocation that has taken place so fare has left more unanswered questions then answers.

	Former Japanese Fisherman's Ecotour Could Change a Deadly Way of Life
		"The value I now see in dolphins is not the value of their meat, but of the wonder they incite in us." When he says "value," Ishii-san means both a higher value and a monetary one.
		From small boats, the fishermen herd tens and even hundreds of bottlenose dolphins, Risso's dolphins, and false killer whales toward shore, using the combined clamor of underwater engine noise and the sound of pipes being banged under the surface of the water to frighten the animals toward land.
		Fishermen conduct drive fisheries for meat (which is sometimes fraudulently sold as meat from minke, Bryde's, and sei whalesâ”species killed by the Japanese during "scientific whaling" expeditionsâ”to supply Japanese whale-meat markets) and as a form of predator control, because they consider the cetaceans competition for fish.
