Mandurah's Jumping Dolphins Movie

This is our best dolphin movie so far, two dolphins recently were having an absolute ball next to our ferry and getting some serious "air-time" with some amazing high leaps and jumps. All this right next to the ferry and only a couple of metres from our guests. And the best part is this happens all the time!!! Enjoy.

About Mandurah's Dolphins

Mandurah has a healthy population of Bottle Nose Dolphins (tusiops truncatus) that is estimated to number up to 75 individuals, depending on the time of year. The number increases around mating times when males come in and join the pods. The pods of dolphins average around 10-15 and have sometimes been seen to be as large as 25 down to solitary dolphins or smaller family groups of 3-4.

Their average length is about 3 metres, with calves being about 1 metre long at birth. We normally see baby dolphins appear between December and April. Mandurah's wild dolphins are medium grey in colour with light flanks and pale bellies. They can live up to 30 years and can swim in short bursts up to 40km/h and they love to play in our ferries bow waves and wash. As a matter of fact dolphins are the only other mammals apart from humans that continue to play well into their adult life. And Mandurah's wild dolphins are very playful!

Thanks to Sally Kirby for some of this information.
