Monkey Mia Rocks

I have never been soooooooooo  close to dolphins.
There are some families that live close to shore.  They come in to eat and sleep.  Piper is a little boy baby.  Nicky is an adult.  She got her name because a boat propeller nicked her dorsal fin.  She will have another baby in October.  She has already had 8 babies but only one has lived because the others have been eaten by sharks or not survived.  There are many sharks here that prey on the dolphins - that is how Shark Bay got it's name.

We are not allowed to touch the dolphins but I hope we will get to feed them.  We stood in the water and they got very very close to us.  They turned sideways to see us.

  2. I did!
    Mummy can't send photos on her phone because there is no mobile service to send messages. Sorry!
