EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this breathtaking print captured by Michael Nolan, we witness an incredible sight off the coast of Baja California Norte, Mexico. A pod of 40 to 50 short-finned pilot whales have gathered together for what seems like a grand underwater reunion. These majestic creatures, known as Globicephala macrorhynchus in scientific terms but let's just stick with "pilot whales" are putting on quite a show! With their sleek bodies and distinctive dorsal fins slicing through the Pacific waters, these playful mammals steal the spotlight against the stunning backdrop of Isla San Pedro Martir. It's as if they're saying, "Hey humans! Check out our synchronized swimming routine!". As they gracefully glide through the sea, these intelligent cetaceans exhibit striking beauty and camaraderie that leaves us in awe. Their close-knit social structure is evident as they navigate together with precision and harmony. This image reminds us of nature's wonders and how lucky we are to share this planet with such magnificent marine animals. So next time you find yourself near the Gulf of California or any other oceanic paradise, keep your eyes peeled for these fin-tastic creatures who never fail to make waves wherever they go!
