Go For It Moonlight!
Every so often some of the bottlenose dolphins in the Inner Moray Firth come across boats and ships of all shapes and sizes and being the intelligent and often curious mammals that they are – they will sometimes interact with the boats by maybe bow-riding, like this recent photo of WDC Adopt a Dolphin “Moonlight” where she is riding the pressure wave being generated in front of the ships hull. It has been calculated that some species of cetaceans could save around one third of the energy needed to keep up this speed normally at sea by letting the ship “push” them along. Clever eh?
