A selection of photos from my Penn State Biology 499 (Tropical Ecology) course, taught annually in Costa Rica from Dec 27 - Jan 11.
Movie of a pod of false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens) encountered near Cano Island, Costa Rica. We have minimal control over how close the boatmen get to these animals. The propeller marks on some of these whales indicate that we were indeed too close. Movie shot by our course TA using a GoPro camera both above and below water. I edited the raw video and slowed the playback of underwater closeups to 25% speed. Music is Waterslide by Tony Furtado.
