A spectacular group of rough-toothed dolphins, native to oceanic areas, was captured around the Islote de Alegranza last weekend.
La Graciosa resident Javier Bermúdez was able to record this pod of rough-toothed dolphins while enjoying a morning "feast" of barracuda fish in the La Graciosa Marine Reserve and the Northern Islets.
This type of species usually feeds on small fish and cephalopods, says Javier Bermúdez, so it is "something rare" to witness this scene. These animals take advantage of the entry of schools of fish into this space to feed.
However, they are not the only ones, as there is also evidence of the presence of "other species of dolphins and even large cetaceans, such as sperm whales and rorquals, and the migration of tunas through these waters, such as skipjack or sierra, with the fishing fleet of the Marine Reserve taking advantage of this tuna fishing."
