Over the past 16 years since the first edition of Marine Connection’s Lone Rangers report was produced, there has been an increasing number of dolphins and whales around the world living solitary lives.
Although their occurrence is not as rare as you might think, the question most asked, and remains to be answered, is precisely why some cetaceans become solitary in the first place.
The report is not only an historic record of solitary, sociable dolphins, and whales, but also highlights their individuality and why it is vital that we respect them as wild animals.
ARR.News Ed: Marine Connection’s Lone Rangers report (3rd ed.) includes Eric, the lone dolphin seen along the Port Broughton foreshore earlier in 2024 as reported in the Yorke Peninsula Country Times.
