Porpoise

Porpoise

The North Sea is home to a diverse and thriving population of porpoises, a type of marine mammal.

These animals are part of a group known as the cetaceans and belong to the Phocoenidae family. They are known for their playful behavior and unique vocalizations, which make them a popular attraction for wildlife enthusiasts and researchers alike. The porpoises in the North Sea are found in a range of habitats, from shallow coastal waters to deep offshore waters.

They are well adapted to life in the ocean, with a streamlined body and flippers that help them move efficiently through the water. These animals feed on a variety of prey, including fish, squid, and crustaceans. They are also known for their strong social bonds and frequently form pods, or groups, to hunt and travel together. With their friendly and playful nature, porpoises are an important part of the North Sea ecosystem, and a symbol of the rich and diverse marine life that can be found in this region.

Seals Zeeland sightseeing flight

Midden Zeeland Airport

Seals are not that hard to find around Zeeland. The beautiful nature, the clean water, the environment and the peace and quiet have a positive influence on the seals and therefore large seal colonies live off the coast. They laze a lot on the beach and on the sandbanks where they enjoy the sun. And with a bit of luck, porpoises can be spotted from the air (The smallest type of whale that has about the size of a dolphin). A good way to spot these animals is by plane!
