A very new calf has been spotted in Bremer Bay, Western Australia.

When I was a kid my mom got me this VHS tape that ABC News produced about orcas and I can't find it anywhere but my memory recalls seeing Namu in a pen and they showed his dead body in it does anyone know if it exists anywhere or am I just having a false memory?

I’d love to learn more about Orca! Do you have any good recommendations? Thank you all :)

Hello orca lovers. Who can help me out?

Who knows if there's a photo-id catalog of the WILD orcas near Tenerife? Their ecotype? Their migration pattern? Suprisingly hard to find.

I'm working on an inventory of all things orca, including catalogs of all populations I can find. Most well studied pods and populations are easy to find. Others.. not so much =(

The French Minister brought up some big issues, like the timeframe (which we’ve talked about a lot here—how they don’t have anything ready and apparently still need fundraising), the water temperature, the risk of the orcas not adjusting to the sanctuary, and the fact that there’s no backup plan if things go wrong.

What I find funny is how WSP tries to spin it as a bad thing that Marineland wants to move the orcas "as fast as possible". The facility falling apart and an orca dying after eating a part of it might be part of the reason, but they’re still insisting on keeping the orcas there until their sanctuary is ready. And this isn’t just me saying it—they’ve said it themselves.

Here’s the source from their Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/p/DFX20JJPmjT/?igsh=MWp3ODIydzZ3b24zMw==

Hiii I booked my tour with *San Juan Safaris for March. Does anyone have personal experiences with this orca tour? Does it disrupt them at all? I'm trying to do careful research. Thank you.

Hi there! I am a biomedical artist that recently discovered a love for orcas. Wanted to do a piece on the topic of the beautiful Tahlequah and was hoping to create graphics of her route taken with each baby, but I’m struggling to find actual numbers or recorded content to add. I wanted to ask the community here what you would like to see depicted in an infographic about her. Any and all help is much appreciated :)

the body moves and so does the mouth on the larger orca!

Hi! I was hoping if someone could direct me to a good book on learning whatever I can about orcas. I'm an artist and I'd really like one with photos/illustrations depicting the differences in different species/regional variants (...sorry, that makes em sound like pokemon, I don't know how to phrase it better, it's been a long day lol), as well as behavior/culture would be great too.

Thanks in advance!

So it's been a few years since I really had time and energy to dedicated to my love of orcas, and my favourite blog from back then is now dead. Now I'm looking for the best sites to keep up with orca news - births, deaths, migrations, captures, and anti-cap progress. Any recommendations?

I'm just looking for some more raw footage of Tilikum, just him existing, doing pretty much anything. However, it's been hard to find normal videos of him due to his involvement in 3 deaths, whenever I search I see many negative videos involving him. I'm not saying I don't watch those videos, and that they aren't informative, but many clickbait and ridiculous videos come up as well, with incredibely disrespectful photoshopped images involving Dawn. I've even seen some people demonizing Tilly himself. It's exhausting to scroll through. I currently have a playlist of about 20 videos of him, most of which come from EchoBeluga. I have almost 200 videos of Corky saved, but only this many of Tilly. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp9qUqALZgqpMkTsCgsifkfsdPYnefcv8&si=OAQuvnVJT-ptF6ht I was wondering if you guys would have some more that I could see? Photos are appreciated as well. Thank you in advance

It just seems odd to me how they had been so close before Kalina was taken away from Katina in 1990 to be sent to SeaWorld Ohio. Katina was even reportedly very distressed during the separation and was depressed for a while afterwards.

Kalina was only at Ohio for a few months when she was moved to San Diego. There she resided for yet again only a few months before being moved to San Antonia. She spent three years there before finally being moved back to Orlando, separating her from her son Keet while reuniting her with her mother Katina. But despite how close they had been and Kalina having even helped Katina raise Katerina (Kalina’s half sister) before they were separated in 1990, the two never returned to their mother-daughter bond. In fact, it’s been reported that Kalina sometimes challenged Katina for the position of matriarch.

What would have caused this? I’m sure all of us are aware of just how attached orcas can be to their family members—especially their calves—and I highly doubt they would forget such a bond after just a few years of being apart. Heck, there’s a video showing Corky reacting to the calls of her pod despite being separated for nearly 30 years at that point, and Corky, just like Kalina, had only been four years old when she was separated from her family so I don’t think age has much of a part of it either.

I have a few theories but I want to know what other people think about it.
