📢TONIGHT at 8pm on RTÉ2![]()
🎥 IRELAND TO ICELAND-ON THE TRAIL OF THE HUMPBACK WHALE![]()
Ireland and Iceland may be separated by 1500 km of wild Atlantic Ocean but we have much in common, including a population of humpback whales. The IWDG has shown that humpback whales seen in Iceland also visit Ireland and we have a shared responsibility towards this iconic species.![]()
We share more than genetics and legends... we share whales!![]()

Follow our journey tonight on RTE2! and visit the IWDG website for more details at iwdg.ie/iwdg-humpback-whale-expedition/![]()

HOW DO DOLPHINS HYDRATE?![]()
Dolphins, like other sea mammals, don't drink the seawater they swim in. They don’t need to drink the way we do as their main prey (fish) has a high water content, so they gain water and hydrate themselves from their food and by producing it internally from the metabolic breakdown of food.![]()
