Nothing humbles you faster than seeing a megapod of common dolphins—— it’s like watching the ocean come alive, thousands of bodies moving in perfect harmony.

Raigad-based wildlife researcher and photographer Shantanu Kuveskar recently documented Indian Ocean Humpback Dolphins off the Raigad coast during a weekend fishing trip. Known to frequent Maharashtra’s shallow coastal waters, these dolphins are occasionally spotted by fishermen and tourists, though experts say sightings are not very frequent. The species prefers shallow habitats and remains poorly studied despite conservation concerns. | MiD DAY
