School of dolphins swimming over a light-coloured sandy seabed by Laura Georgi Tier- und Ladschaftsfotografie

A group of dolphins is swimming together across light-coloured sand in shallow water. The animals
are arranged in a staggered formation in the picture: two large ones at the front, several smaller ones behind them, and
further back, others fade into the blue. They are all swimming in the same direction, without
touching one another and without losing their distance from one another.

A pod of dolphins is not a shoal, but a collection of smaller groups.
Females with their young stay together, young males form their own groups,
and the composition changes over days and weeks. Mothers regularly leave their young
with other females whilst they themselves hunt — a form of
shared parenting that is rare amongst animals.

As a wall mural, this motif is the most accessible in the series. Lots of animals, light
turquoise, white sand, no drama. It immediately comes across as friendly and is just as popular with
children as it is with adults. It is suitable for living rooms,
bedrooms, children’s rooms, nurseries, paediatricians’ surgeries, waiting areas,
swimming pools, diving schools, travel agencies and hotels.

A gift for a new baby, for children, divers and anyone who loves the sea.
