Delfini






Il delfino dal naso a bottiglia (Tursiops truncatus) vive in mari tropicali e temperati in tutto il mondo. Può essere trovato nelle zone costiere dei continenti e delle isole oceaniche, e in ambienti pelagici anche a migliaia di chilometri dalla costa.


Nella maggior parte delle zone studiate sono presenti due ecotipi: una forma pelagica e una costiera, caratterizzate da diverse abitudini ecologiche e alimentari, così come una diversa morfologia esterna. La forma pelagica vive in acque profonde lontano dal mare, mentre la forma costiera frequenta la zona sopra la scogliera continentale, anche in acque poco profonde, a volte visitando lagune e bocche dei fiumi.


A causa delle difficoltà di ricerca in mare aperto, la maggior parte delle conoscenze si riferisce alla forma costiera, mentre la forma pelagica è meno conosciuta. Nel Mar Adriatico settentrionale, che ha acque poco profonde, il delfino dal naso a bottiglia è la specie di cetaceo predominante.


In passato, altri cetacei, come il delfino comune, condividevano le acque dell'Adriatico con il delfino dal naso a bottiglia, ma la degradazione ambientale avvenuta negli ultimi decenni ha portato a una progressiva riduzione della varietà delle specie. I mammiferi marini come il delfino comune e la foca monaca sono diventati molto rari, ma il delfino dal naso a bottiglia - un delfino astuto e opportunista - è ancora in grado di vivere e riprodursi nelle aree meno degradate.


In passato i delfini avevano la reputazione di ladri di pesci e danneggiatori di reti, e veniva offerta una ricompensa a chi li uccideva. Oggi li vediamo come animali intelligenti ed evoluti che vivono in società complesse e rappresentano una parte essenziale dell'ecosistema marino. Osservarli nel loro ambiente naturale è un esperienza indimenticabile.

The owners and the staff are very helpful. They give you lot of information when you arrive about Veli Losinj and the Losinj Island. They are very eager to make your stay pleasant and memorable, which was the case for me and my wife. We stayed 5 nights in the very beautiful apartment La Dolce Vita and we enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend this place.

Amazing accommodation in a perfect location and the most lovely host! We were welcomed with some snacks and water and herbs from the garden. At the apartment we had everything we could possibly think about! I highly recommend staying here.

We travelled hundreds of times with Booking, but NEVER saw anything like this. In the small town of Veli Losinj (on Losinj island), just by the beutiful tiny local port we found this place. What is so exceptional? 1. The host (Tihana). Go there and you will see and understand. We never saw such hospitality and kindness, she was so helpful, taking care of details we never dreamed about. 2. The apartment (we stayed at Casablanca apartment). She (Tihana) is interior designer by profession, and the place is so beautifully arranged and so creative that it will take your breath away!

Everything was very perfect. The apartment is very nice, clean, very well equipped. In fact, it is close to everything: shops, beach, aquapark, city center. It was great. Thank you very much.

Wow, great service from our host before we even got to the apartment!! The host picked us up from the ferry and as it was dark and rainy upon our arrival, even though we were only meters from the listing. We really appreciated the champagne left as a welcome gift to this quirky little apartment. The bed was definitely comfortable and the kitchen well equiped. The apartment was right on the doorstep to wonderful restaurants, cafes and bars. If you need a dark room to sleep, don’t forget your eye mask. Above the bed is a skylight window, which can be drawn, but looking up at the stars and moon and drifting clouds is quite nice whilst snuggling in bed!! Thank you, we will be back, we didn’t get enough of this island of Vitality!!

The host and staff were amazing. Incredibly friendly and finding a perfect balance between offering help were needed and giving privacy when wanted. Nothing is too much for them and they are very accessible. These people have a special place in my heart.
