Heads or tails? by Jodi Frediani, US. The unusually clear, flat sea in Monterey Bay, California, provided a beautiful turquoise backdrop for the glossy bodies of three northern right whale dolphins. A young woman gave up her place at the bow of the boat below which the dolphins were enjoying riding the bow wave and Jodi got her shot of two adult heads and the silvery tail of a juvenile. These dolphins are atypical in appearance, with short, pointy beaks, sloping foreheads and no dorsal fins. They are quick and athletic, often flying high out of the water in graceful leaps.
