Today is World Whale and Dolphin Day! 📆
Off #andenes we can see 10 different species of #cetaceans, from small harbour porpoises to huge fin whales, and our guides love to tell you all you need to know about them in our Whale Exhibition.
What do you think is the best way to mark the day?

One of the #spermwhales we observed in 2019 is matched to pictures from Madeira! 🤩
#photoID #whales #whaleresearchCACHALOTE FOTOGRAFADO NA MADEIRA FOI REAVISTADO NA NORUEGA
PT// Colaboração entre empresas de observação de cetáceos tem resultados surpreendentes!! A primeira recaptura fotográfica de um cachalote entre a Madeira e a Noruega foi feito com fotografias submetidas pela H2O Madeira (através do catálogo de cachalotes do Museu da Baleia da Madeira) e Whalesafari Andenes, na Noruega, à Lisa Steiner, que mantém um catálogo não oficial de cachalotes do Atlântico Norte!!
O cachalote macho identificado pela primeira vez em 2015 na Madeira foi "recapturado" (avistado e foto-identificado) em 2019 em Andenes, Noruega. É o primeiro registo comum de um cachalote nestas duas áreas, contribuindo para compreender melhor o movimento dos cachalotes machos no Atlântico Norte.
SPERM WHALE PHOTOGRAPHED IN MADEIRA WAS RESIGHTED IN NORWAY
EN// Whale watching company collaboration produces amazing results!! The first Madeira to Norway sperm whale match has been made from photos submitted by H2O Madeira (through the Madeira Whale Museum sperm whale catalogue) and Whalesafari Andenes, in Norway, to Lisa Steiner, who keeps an unofficial North Atlantic Sperm Whale catalogue !!
The male sperm whale that was first identified in 2015 in Madeira was "recaptured" (resighted and photo-identified) in 2019 in Andenes, Norway. It is the first match of a sperm whale between these two areas, contributing to further understand the movement of male sperm whales in the North Atlantic.
