Never heard of these amazing dolphins before. Thank you, so much for bringing us this footage. mesmerising to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it
Same! And I'm obsessed with the ocean!
Beautiful ocean people 🐬
Habitat loss... really? Are we building in the sea now? I'd love to watch a wildlife video without all the climate change bs.
@@crazychrisfromessex1740 lol.. Thats a dumb take.
Thank you for introducing me to this dolphin!! I thought it was going to be a Beluga at first. 🧜🏽♀💜🐬
Beluga whales don't swim that far south, the further south one beluga whale was seen further south was in Washington state Puget sound.
@@ghostshirt1984 One beluga whale frequented the Black Sea coast of Türkiye in the early 1990's. Locals liked him so much, even named him "Aydın" and fed him regularly. He was a playful, intelligent, and lovely whale. It turned out that the beluga escaped from a Soviet marine research center in Ukraine.

This channel really deserves a lot more subscribers!
I couldn’t agree more
Yes
I just did!
This is actually the first time I see these magnificent mammals too, thank you very much for sharing this experience.
I love your calm yet enthusiastic narration. Beautiful video!
So cool, apparently they can be up to 50% bigger than "regular" Dolphins. You are privileged to have these opportunities my dude! Long may they continue. 🙂
And they can use tools. Some have been found to have used aquatic crossbows with long harpoons to attack fishermen.
@@BoopSnoot where are their hands to take the crossbow?? it's not mermaid it's dolphin... what are you saying? 😮💨
The clarity of the water is phenomenal!!! Love these videos.
What an amazing dolphin! You always have that earning to learn. Your voice is so soothing and relaxing.
Yet again, the beautiful cinematography just shines through! Not to mention the subject! Absolutely stunning mammals!
beautiful footage. I've never even heard of this type of dolphin. Thank you for sharing this beautiful engounter.
Gorgeous creatures... I had never seen this kind of dolphin before. Thank you for your education and awareness-raising efforts!
Thank you for sharing your videos. What a beautiful creature! I’m so fascinated about the ocean. Watching your videos I learn more about the ocean and the creatures that live there. Thank you again for sharing.
This is absolutely the most joyful vlog I've seen in a long time. I hope it can be used to bring attention to this threatened species. Your heart must have skipped a beat when you first spotted it!
When I was young, I was obsessed with photographer Bob Talbot. Your videos remind me of the emotion I felt when I saw Talbot’s work. Thanks so much for posting your amazing work.
I’ll look him up.
Wow, that's so cool for you to have spotted these dolphins off the CA coast! Makes me feel happy to know they are there and looking healthy!
I've always thought they were beautiful, but never seen footage like this of them. What a fortunate encounter💙
I have never heard of this kind of dolphin! Thank you for sharing your amazing footage with us!
I never heard of it either I never knew Dolphins could get that big, they usually swim around us, and they always come and say hello, and some of the Sonic chirps they make I can hear them no Wonder Woman call us dogs, sometimes I can even hear the bats, I have real sensitive hearing, and it's below the scale of the measurement on the machines the doctor that was testing my ears was astonished
That was amazing. Using a drone has given you some fantastic footage. I always look forward to your videos, there's something quite spiritual about them. Your enthusiasm is contagious.
What an honor. Thank you for sharing and explaining these beautiful dolphins. I have never heard nor seen of these magnificent creatures. Wow
Thanks for posting this. I believe I saw and photographed one of these jumping at Catalina Island about 3 months ago. I had never seen them before either and I have been an ocean goer for 50+ years. Beautiful creatures indeed.
I REALLY enjoyed this video, I have never seen this type of dolphin either. Thank you for your continual endeavors to make us aware of the beautiful creatures that live in our oceans!! ❤
That has to be one of the most stunning creatures I've ever seen, I can't believe I've never herd of them!
heard
no one cares dude LOL @@Mortthemoose

So beautiful, happy you experienced such a rare Dolphin!!! 🐋🤗👏💙 Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hope to see a full-blown documentary from you someday ☺️❤️
All your material is absolutely stunning and introducing known and unknown marine life from new angles. While your explanations are providing the most important facts and factors and remind us to protect what we see.
Beautiful 💙💙💙
that is a nice name :)
Seen ur videos being shown by others- so glad ur getting the recognition u deserve!❤
What an amazing sight. Thank you so much for sharing the details of these beautiful dolphins.
Thank you! Something I’ve never seeing before. Your description and information are also appreciated.
AMAZING... I certainly love learning from YOU. This is especially wonderful to see an animal I never knew existed. I will be doing some research...but I'm very upset about all that scaring...it really looks like they fight for their existence a daily basis. Which of course forces my heart to know and do everything to protect them.
Thank YOU for videos...makes my day.❤
How can scars be so beautiful? I've never heard of a Risso's dolphin, I even had to Google how to spell it (got it right first guess), but I know I won’t forget them now. Most marine mammals have amazing grace, at least in the water, but this is the Margot Fonteyn of dolphins. Stunning! Thank you so much for showing us this gorgeous creature.
They are so amazing! Didn’t know these existed. Thank you so much for sharing! Your content brings so much learning to our world. Keep up the good work.
I haven’t heard of these dolphins before either. They are big and majestic and wonderful to behold.
Just stunning creatures.. I also didn’t realise how large this species is .. thank you so much for sharing their unique beauty with us 🥰
We saw a large pod of them 3 days ago on a whale watching excursion out of Newport Beach. There seemed to be at least a dozen or more. We stayed with them for 20-30 minutes or so, watching them swimming and surfacing nearly in unison. We were told this was unusual, not only because they are rarely seen, but also because they are not known to “bow-ride” alongside boats (unlike other dolphins). Our tour guide was as excited about this sighting as the passengers!
Newport Beach Oregon?
@@mikeblair2594 no, Newport Beach in So. California.
Malibu Artist - your photography is stunning. Please keep going!
Thanks for the video, it actually helped calm my twins and had me fascinated seeing a species I’ve never seen before myself.
WONDERFUL video!!! Your filming and narration are spectacular !
Thank you !!! What a gr8 find!!! I always found Catalina to be full of surprises the few times when snorkeling or diving tightly around its coast! It was a joy to visit every time!
Wow that is a really awesome new Dolphin species I also have never seen/heard of before too!🐬 Your videos are very nice & inspiring. The high definition detail is unreal too. The imagery & way you always edit the slower moving shots, close-ups, etc. really makes a huge difference for me. There's many times when I feel almost as though I'm right there in person on location😄
🙏I'm very grateful for every1 of your videos. Almost always learn something new & your voice commentating each video is better than many of the most popular ones ya hear on BBC Earth or National Geographic 🎧 😊👍
We not only take our "backyards" for granted. We take everything for granted concerning nature. I challenge everyone to pick up a plant ID guide and literally learn what's in your backyard. You'll be amazed at what is there. A new world will open to you. Rare species aside, get to know your neighbors, the common ones are amazing too.- from a former rare plant botanist
I can name every plant Bird lizard 🦎 Snake 🐍 Bird 🐦 toad insect in the Sonoran desert 🌵. Have an acre with two hundred species of native plants. My own botanical garden. I stare at plants
I'd rather buy a lawnmower
I'd rather not buy a lawnmower, I don't wanna commit plant decapitation.
Thank you for sharing this. I learned something new today. Risso’s Dolphins. They are majestic creatures.
Beautiful dolphin. Thank you for sharing the sight of this gorgeous creature with us all.
This is beautiful footage of a Risso. Their skin has less pigment and that's why the scarring can be seen so distinctive. They eat mostly squid and with their tentacles they can scar a Risso very heavily. They also get scars due to interactions with one another.
Risso's live, just as the orca, in a matriarchal society. One female is the leader of the pod they live in. A family can be made of several pods.
They are known to be the most sensitive of the Delphinidae.
In Taiji, Japan they still hunt and slaughter all sorts of dolphins including Risso's.
This year in the 2023 season they are allowed to slaughter 251 Risso's!!!!!
I've watched it years live on the Ric O'Barry Dolphin's Project stream and it;s heartbreaking. One times they got a group of Risso's of 20 and the matriarch fought with all she had to keep her pod safe and get away from these batards of fisherman.
The took a few babies away to throuw them back in the ocean while they will kill the rest. They don't take the babies cause there's not much meat on them, and they will die in the ocean without their mothers and family members.
The matriarch, all covered in blood started screaming and crying when they took the babies away. And she kept on doing that until they took her under the tarp and killed her.
You're probably already aware, but if not,
check out the story of "Pelorus Jack",
A Risso Dolphin that guided ships
through the Cook Strait in NZ from
roughly 1888-1912.
I can’t “like” this comment because it’s so very heartbreaking but thank you for bringing attention to this awful practice that is STILL going on. It’s embarrassing to be human sometimes! 😢
I’m so heartbroken and sad now 💔😪💔 I wish more than anything for this to stop and be TRULY ILLEGAL World Wide!!!!
I honestly don’t understand how people who Murder Marine Wildlife, from Whales to Sharks, can live with themselves!!!!
It’s pure Evil and Barbaric imo
@@DpackMocktail 💯 it’s so shocking to me that this is still going on...there was a film out about it years a d years ago, which I managed to watch through my tears and anger once. I’ve kind of had to bury my head in the sand about it since then as it truly hurts my heart 💔 this world is so messed up. At the time they made the film there was no “quota” so it was literally dolphin genocide...how it can still be justified as there is now a limit to the amount of each precious creature they can murder is too much for me to comprehend 😢😭🤬
@@RxS100 That is the docu the Cove from/with Ric O'Barry. And that was filmed in 2008, and now 15 years later it still goes on the same way.
These so called fishermen really see all the dolphins as vermin that eat their! fish! They are nothing less than psychopaths!!!
I love your videos. Keep it up!
beautiful marine mammals nice to hear they’re not threatened with extinction ☀️🌊🐬🐋
the narrator might be implying there would have been sightings of them in the triple-digits had their habitat not been fucked with.
You're wrong! They are are endangered species
@@ainthatsomeshitYou're wrong about that, their habitat is the ocean and we mess up the ocean every time and they wash up dead from the trash we humans toss in the ocean like plastic and all.
Thank you for introducing these amazing animal’s to me. I hadn’t heard of these specific dolphins. I love the pink dolphins too. We have an amazing world. Let’s try to keep it in that way.
What an amazing species! I feel a little sad because this Rissos dolphin is alone. Thank you for sharing, I really miss the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Don’t be sad. 1:45 - 1:50. There are two.
No buddy, when you watch a vid pay attention. There are two and they usually travel in large groups.
No Buddy. When you watch a video, pay attention. Here is your grammar / punctuation lesson for today knucklehead. I heard the narration. I was simply pointing out something that might make the clearly empathetic commenter feel better.
Thanks for spelling the dolphin name. All I figure out was Reeses peanut butter cups. They are beautiful and extraordinary. Thank you 😊
Awesome creatures and beautiful filming. Thanks.
Wow! I’ve never even heard of them. How beautiful they are. Thank you for sharing these creatures with us.
Wonderful creatures and superb footage! Your channel is a treasure! Thank you!
Many thanks!
Wow..I actually never heard of them!!! You taught me something today!! Btw ur a great teacher because u speak so clearly, intelligently and make things so easy for us to understand!! Thank you Malibu Artist
Thank you!!
Beautifully filmed and narrated. Thank you.
So interesting! Thank you for sharing
I hadn’t heard of these Dolphins before, they are certainly majestic and amazing looking. What a wonderful experience to have seen them in person.
You are so right. I went to the lake we have here in the city (Belgrade) to dive a bit. And I saw little jellyfish. There were so many of them. When you dive through them it is like you fly through space. ♥
Thanks for sharing these creatures with us who live far from the ocean. Hopefully their habitats improve in time.
Great video. As always, perfectly filmed & edited. Thank you man, you're great
Amazing footage, and what a lucky capture! I'd heard of these dolphins but had never seen footage of one until now. They really are beautiful.
The scarring on their skin is fascinating, and I immediately followed this video up by googling the species and losing myself down an interesting rabbit hole!
I know I'm repeating what others have commented, but I have never ever heard of these dolphins! Thank you for expanding my horizons! ❤
A creature so beautiful beyond words and a meaning message from you. Yes, appreciate. What a nice watch to start the day. Happy to learn about these dolphins. Thank you. ❤
Beautiful -- thanks for sharing. I also haven't heard of Risso's Dolphin before this video. Awareness and appreciation of our ecosystem is a gift worth cherishing.
I love learning something new about our world. Thank you. This was wonderful.
Risso's dolphins, sometimes called gray dolphins. Awesome! ❤❤
Wow, what a beautiful species of dolphin 🐬 ❤, you bring your audience the best videos and information of the oceanic world I’ve ever encountered. I truly appreciate your hard work; it’s well earned!❤ You certainly have found your calling of this world. Storytelling, videography, technology, art of the ocean, creatures of the ocean, oceanic video-pedia, love most of all for all manner of life. Thank you from the depths of my soul. ❤
They are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Your videos are stunning. Thank you for posting them!
Wow! I’ve loved dolphins my whole life but had never heard of or seen these stunning and elegant beauties of the sea. Thank you so much for this calming video that appeared just when I needed to relax! 😅
Awesome! This is the first time I've seen a live action recording of these yet another mind blowing marine mammal. Until this video, I'd only seen photos. Thank You so very much for sharing. ❇💜❇
Absolutely beautiful 🎉🎉 thank you for the footage and the words❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing footage of this beautiful but allusive dolphin, it was a joy to watch, keep it coming.
Amazing. Thank you. Animals don’t deserve (many of) us - and (many of) us don’t deserve them. If you haven’t given up anything but line caught seafood, please do. Thank you, Carlos. 💕
You are so kind
@@TheMalibuArtist' you are so intelligent' is more like it.
What an amazing dolphin. I would love to see some. We must conserve and protect them!
Wow! Such beautiful footage. Thanks as always.
what a beautiful animal, and a privilege to be able to see it through your video. thank you!
Wow! What a beautiful dolphin. I've never heard of this species before. Thank you for sharing. Sending you much love from Oahu Hawaii 🌺🌈☀️🌴🥥
Inspiring video as usual mate! Never seen these dolphins before and am BLESSED to have been able to see such a beautiful animal. Thank you for sharing you work with us, it's always such a highlight to experience. Thank you
Your videos and narrative are phenomenal.!!!! I think they had a few of these dolphins at SeaWorld San Diego. But that was almost 40 years ago.
Thanks for stopping by! And for the kind words!
Beautiful images. I was very lucky to get close-up views of a Risso's Dolphin many years ago which had found its way up the River Clyde here in Scotland as far as Glasgow city. I watched and filmed it passing 12 feet below me from a footbridge.
You my friend have been in the right plce at the right time lately.Thank you for being a protector and book of knowledge about our ocean wildlife.
Lucky I guess. Thanks for joining the ride!
Really enjoyed the non-shark content, always do - whether it be Grey Whales or Risso's Dolphins, the way you put together the video ensures captivation
Thank you so much. I have such joy making these too!
Sharks are living creatures to and have every right to live, not all sharks attack people man there's harmless sharks to like the ones kept in aquariums and private home aquariums.
Wow, those garden rake scrape marks seem strikingly similar to the spacing of an Orca bite. It's a testament to the epic battles this magnificent creature must have endured. Encountering such large animals in the wild is always an awe-inspiring experience. Personally, every time I come across whales while boating, it gives me an adrenaline rush that's simply unparalleled. It's a common yet thrilling experience in the Pacific Northwest. And let me just say, this is some fantastic photography, brother! By the way, I'm working on a film project and I'm wondering if you'd be interested in capturing some shots for it. Your talent would be a great addition
Thank you! This was so beautiful and calming to watch.
That's a new species for me thank you 👍✌
Just beautiful, thank you for always showing us what the Pacific Ocean has to offer 🐋
I have also never heard of this species before. It was a joy to learn something new. Keep it up.
Awesome video capture and my appreciation for the video share. ❤
What fascinating animals. I never saw them out there, either. Of course, that was the pre-drone era. 😊
We see them off the coast of San Diego occasionally. Sometimes in groups up to 50 individuals. Each sighting is special, but the first sighting of an animal is something you never forget. I have been volunteering on whale watching boats for 13 years on a regular basis and last year we saw something I had never seen before - False Killer whales!
@Cdemos101 Hi I live in West Vancouver & also Victoria/Sooke B.C. where we see Orcas - or killer whales. I have never heard of false Killer Whale! In my mind it conjures up an Orca with dentures. Please expand, I'd love to hear! TYVM!
What do they look like?? Besides looking similar to orcas 😄
@@nevermind5321 you can find out in a few seconds with something called google.
@@nevermind5321 smaller, all black, narrower head.
Amazing. Thank you as always for sharing.
Thank you for the education. Your footage is clearer than ever! I could make out each distinguishing tentacle scar on the dolphin’s body. Breathtaking!
I can see where the Hawaiians get the inspiration for their tribal tattoos.
These videos are a calming, centering breath of fresh air. This channel will have millions of subscribers one day. Here's to hoping that it's sooner than later!
Thanks so much!
Lovely photography! Thanks for posting!
Just stunning! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!
What an excellent and educational video. Very informative. Also, a very beautiful, well done video. Thank you so much for sharing this information with all of us. Your videos are so great to see. Pls keep them coming. ❤
Amazing footage! Thank you!
Beautiful footage. Thank you! I’m seeing this now for the first time in my life.
Wonderful! Thank you for such a beautiful presentation. Raising awareness of the inextricability of all members of the ecosystem is so vital🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing, the water looks increadible and the dolphin gave a great views
Beautiful drone footage and editing. I'd never heard of these dolphins before.
Thank you! Happy to introduce you to something new!
Always beautiful and amazing footage. Thank you for showing us the beauty of nature 😊
Many thanks
This is brilliant! Thanks for sharing this!
