Bless the Salish sea and the people who have lived there for thousands of years in harmony with these beautiful orcas!

I’m very excited for this read ! I’ve only heard good things about it and I have many more in my library if anyone wants recommendations! I honestly can’t read enough about them 🖤🩶🤍

I was thinking this might be the group to identify this toy's brand.

I watched Free Willy when I was 2 or 3 and of course feel in love with Orcas. Around the same time I found this Orca at a store (In my memory it was a department store) and had to have him. I obviously named him Willy. Anyway my grandma bought him for me and he has been my companion through many moves across the country and countless vacations. I still bring him with me when I travel...

But he is getting old and I am nervous that he is going to fall apart. So I am trying to find the brand/where he was sold so maybe I can hunt down one like him to make repairs or something.

Bought between 1997 and 1999. I got him in Albuquerque New Mexico. He is about 3 feet long His eyes are fabric not plastic

I'm not a marine biologist. My background is molecular, much different. Outside of work, I spend most of my time as an armchair biologist and playing guitar. If not for these two interests, I wouldn't be posting this now.

I've followed the "trendy hats" and capsized ships stories in the media, but the explanations coming from the science community just felt off. After my own research, I came to a much different conclusion than the ones we have now.

I wrote a blog post about it - basically showing how both of these stories are just acout echolocation, and how the salmon are modulating the interference from the ships.

I'd love some feedback. Cheers.

hey guys how you doing, after seeing blackfish i had to do something to set them free, so i started my company to do it in a fun way with games and products etc.

setting them free is hopeless, there is no where to take them and people wont stop going to aquariums to see them...

UNLESS...

Look Jake Paul can buy them ALL, ALL 56, out right now and build the sanctuary for them and so can Andrew Tate.

My plan...is to make a super viral video calling them out and get something done.

Right now im building some cool guitars which I'll use for my band and growing the Aquenture youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@aquenture

Would love to know your thoughts. Subscribe so we grow and play our games on aquenture.net

As much as I dislike Loro Parque, they're way better than Kobe Suma.

Additional development to the existing conversation around Wikie and Keijo in France.

One Voice (who have been actively campaigning for these whales) posted on their FB 4 hours ago that:

"At One Voices request...the Grasse Judicial Court just expanded veterinary expertise to Wikie and Keijo.." (Translated from French)

I see this as hopeful, OV are clearly fully engaged and active on the ground. I wonder the reason behind the request for a veterinary order (hope the orcas are not sick) and grateful that they will be seen by a non-park vet.

I have reached out to OV for further clarification on the current status of the whales and also to offer help. I have asked who we can write to in the French government to apply pressure to reject the transfer permit requested to remove the whales to Japan.

I have also reached out to The Whale Sanctuary with a similar query.

I plan to write a book involving orcas, and I wanted to see how many fictional books about orcas there are before I get started. Can be either picture books or chapter books. Thanks in advance!
