A close view of A16/Corky II’s cataract.
From February of this year. Her ghostly-looking cataract is clearly visible here and is quite interesting to take note of. She reportedly can no longer see out of her right eye, but seeing as Corky is old, it’s entirely possible she could lose vision in her other eye as well. As far as I know, documentation on vision loss in cetaceans is more or less nonexistent. Regardless, she’s been through so much in life; I’m genuinely surprised her health has been as stable as it is.

Orcas Attacking Fishing Boats & Orcas Killing Sharks: is there a connection?
Feel free to call me out if I’m hallucinating here, but I’m wondering if the recent spikes in unusual orca behaviors (killing & eating sharks, attacking fishing boats) could be connected.
I know they’re happening in different parts of the world.

Are humans interpreting recent orca behavior off of spain and portugal incorrectly?
I recommend folks read the following as it is possible humans are possibly interpreting this behavior incorrectly.

Could any orca exotype theoretically be kept in captivity (please don’t rant about the ethics of this)
Some North Atlantic orcas and North Pacific resident orcas have survived decades in captivity , could we have any success with transients or any of the Antarctic ecotypes (type a, b or c) again , please don’t rant that no orcas belong in captivity
