A group of dolphins was spotted yesterday morning on Fuseta-Ria beach, in Olhão, to the surprise of the bathers who were there.
Many took the opportunity to record the lovely moment in photos and videos.
Marine biologist, Élio Vicente said that the Algarve is home to several species of dolphins, namely common dolphins, striped dolphins and bottlenose dolphins, as well as orcas, “which are the largest of all”. The biologist said that there are more than 33 species of dolphins.
He warned that it is illegal to interact with dolphins in their natural habitat, because despite being a docile animal, it can hurt anyone nearby due to its speed and agility. It is recommended keeping a distance of at least 50 metres from these animals, which can become dangerous even when playing.
