Unidentified friend!!

Hiya

On my last trip to the tuna grounds i came across a pod of these majestic mammals. Not exactly sure what species they are. First thought they were dolphins, but when we got closer, they looked far to big. The rounded head also got me stumped?? Maybe some specie of whale perhaps. Any ideas??

Regards
miles

Those a PILOT WHALES Miles. They are there, for the same reason as you. To hunt the tuna. Here in the straits they tend to be a nuisance to anglers as they drive the tuna away.
