fascinates us at these animals, it is doubtless the
fact that their curiosity to the man seems as inexhaustible
as for our attraction for them. Impossible to resist
to the temptation to put itself in the water when a
dolphin appears near a boat or near a beach. But our
pleasure does not have to encroach on the respect which
one owes to the animal. In front of a bather, a dolphin
could be interested (unless the boat holds attention
quite!) and will observe this unusual aquatic companion.
He will turn around the rower in the biggest enjoyment
of his spectator. But things will badly turn if the
person wants at all costs to get him. Any wild animal
(what are all the cetaceans) needs to maintain a certain
distance of security among him and an unknown. If one
crosses this imaginary line, the cetacean can take this
attempt to approach for an aggression. In most of cases,
it will always see to it to go away to remain out of
reach. If the rower persists, it will run away for check.
Cases of violent reactions were sometimes recorded (knocks
of tails or bites) in regions of the world where meetings
man cetacean are more frequent than on our coasts. Lesson
to be held is simply not to lose sight that, when one
has the chance to meet these animals, it is not evident
that two sorts get. Consequently, to adopt a moderate
behavior is the best means not to disrupt the animal. |

 An
confrontation of about ten minutes is rather long to
live an exceptional moment, but without obliging the
animal or his group to move to find its tranquillity.
If the boat which approached is a motorboat, it is better
to reduce or even to cut engines. And even though temptation
is big, it is formally disadvised to invite the other
boats or rowers to join you to take advantage of the
occasion. Cetaceans will run off this time without hesitance
in front of the invader, and they will be maybe dislodged
from their zone of rest for day. |
