Video by @paulnicklen “I have wondered what it would be like to swim alongside Earth's greatest marine predators for as long as I can remember. Many species captured my imagination – the misunderstood great white shark and graceful, intelligent orca, for example. But I dreamt of encountering sperm whales, especially: leviathans of the deep that graced the pages of books like Jacques Cousteau's 'The Living Sea' and Herman Melville's 'Moby Dick.' I was fortunate to realize that dream years later in the crystal waters of Dominica, where @Mitty and I spent an afternoon photographing a mother sperm whale, Soursop, and her calf, Ariel. With @SeaLegacy. Filmed under a special interaction permit from the Dominican government.”

Video by @richardsidey "In Antarctica some populations of Humpback whales work together to trap krill inside a net of bubbles before scooping them up from below. When viewed from above, the Fibonacci spiral is revealed. I can tell you that it’s hard to operate a drone with tears in your eyes!" @richardsidey / @galaxiid_creative

“Do I have any dolphin stuck in my teeth?” @seataceans This ETP (Eastern Tropical Pacific) Killer Whale was sighted along with its pod a few miles off the coast of La Salina, Mexico. These whales really enjoy hunting dolphins, playing with boats, and cruising the coastline. Filmed aboard @pacificoffshore 🎥 @seataceans 📍 La Salina, México.
