About ten individuals of dolphins of a species of deadly bottlenose dolphin, which is quite rare to see in the Gulf of Eilat, accompanied Omri Umasi the inspector of the marine unit in the Eilat region of the Nature and Parks Authority, right before the start of Yom Kippur.
"For about an hour, I escorted ten individuals of dolphins from a species of deadly bottlenose dolphin," he says.
"I chose to keep a distance of about a hundred meters from the group and sailed at the same time as them, much to my surprise, the dolphins chose to approach me near the bow of the jet ski and the stern waves.
"They swam leisurely and expressed a lot of interest in me. At a certain point I stopped the motorcycle and turned off the engine, the band remained around me and I could hear countless whistles and sonar scans. I entered the water with a camera, the band surrounded me for many minutes, scanned my body and approached me from different directions. I did not feel uncomfortable at any point, but due to the fact that these are wild animals that do not show interest in humans as a matter of routine, I chose to end the encounter by getting back on the jet ski. I returned to sailing south. The pack continued to accompany me along the voyage, until I could see them converging into a dense jam And so they crossed the border into Egypt."

The molds reach a size of about 6 meters and a weight of one and a half tons
The Nature and Gardens Authority reported that once every few years, we get a short visit from a group of large and impressive marine mammals.
There is a high probability that it is the same band.
It is a species of the dolphin family called the deadly mold.
The gophers reach an impressive size of about six meters and weigh a ton and a half, are characterized by a unique facial structure and particularly thick teeth.
are known as predators that feed on, among other things, other small marine mammals.
This fascinating meeting was made possible further by the report of Mashaf Ben Ezra, a doctoral student from the marine laboratory, who noticed the band from the shore.
"At this meeting I identified at least two males, four females whose cubs are in an advanced stage of development, and one or two more that I could not identify their gender. We have wonderful nature, in honor of the new year, I wish us all a year of nature conservation and more exciting observations," Omri adds.
