Types of Dolphins: 'Long Beaks' and 'Le Souffleur'

Longs Beaks

‘Long Beaks’ who take advantage of our bay to rest and play in the morning and once the afternoon arrives, they take the direction of the high seas to hunt and feed. This type of dolphins normally lives in large groups varying between 10 to 100 individuals.

" Le Souffleur"

‘Le Souffleur’ (like flipper), which on the contrary lives in small groups; males and females live separately except during mating seasons. This type of Dolphin is far less fierce towards humans compared to long beaks.
