Yesterday Lavinia photographed this bottlenose dolphin 'head standing', a behaviour which is rarely performed by this species. The dolphin 'stands' vertically out of the water, exposing her tail stock and dorsal fin. One wonders how thy can do the trick using only flippers as a propulsor (perhaps after having fully inflated their lungs). The meaning of this behaviour is unknown.
