Great pics ! thanks for sharing
Fabulous captures JorgeCazenave. I've read a few of these types of stories lately. These cetaceans even more interesting because they, elephants, humans have a class of bipolar neurons, known as Von Economo neurons which are apparently linked to the capacity for empathy !! Your photoblog has some great pics too. Thanks for sharing these.
