Short-finned pilot whales are the second largest species of dolphin (Yes, despite the name they are classified as dolphins). As with other dolphins, pilot whales have strong social bonds. They form matrilineal societies and are well-known for their long-term stability. Pilot whales are also just really cool to watch. When they are at the surface between deep feeding dives they usually cluster at the surface and often lie very still in a behaviour termed "logging". They are simply beautiful animals.
