California's coastline stretches over 800 miles, offering some of the most spectacular dolphin-watching opportunities in the United States.

Dolphins are among the most charismatic animals in the ocean, but that magnetism has made them one of the most legally protected as well. Federal law draws a firm line between admiring these animals and interfering with them, and the consequences for crossing […]

Amazon River Dolphin Silhouette. Runner-up, Portrait. "I spent two weeks in Manaus, where about 10 operators feed the river dolphins, which are a draw to tourists. We visited a pontoon with four resident botos and a beach that draws about seven in daily. Botos look very unusual compared with other dolphins, with incredibly long rostra—with vestigial hairs on them, tiny eyes and thick bodies. The idea here was to try to get an unexpected view of a surprising animal most people have never heard about."
