Dolphins

Kathleen jumps into the water with her special dolphin recording equipment, the mobile video acoustic array. The IMAXr crew filmed dolphins late in the day when they were near shore. In the afternoon these dolphins swim out to deeper waters in search of fish and squid. Scientists can estimate the age of Atlantic spotted dolphins by their spots. The more spots, the older the dolphin. This is likely a "middle-aged" dolphin (approximately 20 years old). Though it varies with each dolphin species, these Atlantic spotted dolphins can stay underwater for up to eight minutes before surfacing to breathe. Alejandro enjoys sharing his work as a scientist with school children, like these students in Hope Town in the Bahamas. Dolphins form tight bonds with others in their pod or social group. Dusky dolphins begin their hunt for anchovies in small groups. When one or more of these groups spot their prey, they signal other duskies by leaping into the air and swimming quickly. Dolphins Producer and Director Greg MacGillivray prepares the IMAXr camera while Bernd, Alejandro and Kathleen pose for yet another picture! Smile everybody! This bull elephant seal and his harem live along the shores of Patagonia in Argentina Kathleen always has time for a game of checkers with her neighbors in Elbow Cay in the Bahamas. View more photos
