The Gully, Off the Coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, 1997 Photograph by
Flip Nicklin "Symmetry in motion, two whales surface and exhale in
union, emerging to the rarest of North Atlantic daysa clear sky and a
glassy sea. Although small groups often maneuver in tight formation for
a short time...research suggests that the social bonds of most
bottlenose whales are as transient as a teenager&#039s. A month from
now these whales will be swimming in sync with new best friends."

(Text from and photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in,
"Bottlenose Whales," August 1998, National Geographic magazine)
