Lewis Burnett, Everyones favourite Cetacean (ANIMAL 2022)

Bottlenose Dolphins have found themselves a unique spot in the human consciousness, sandwhiched somewhere between cute and clever. These playful animals form strong family bonds and often will form connections with divers whom they recognize. I was lucky enough to spend some time with a small pod of resident dolphins in Koombana Bay over summer and got to know many of their individual personalities over that time. Hopefully these images convey that sense of connection...
