Orca ecotypes?

Hi. I want to know all the different ecotypes of Orcinus orca. I read about them a long time ago but now I can't find it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Can captive orcas communicate with each other?

I've always wondered

  1. Do captive orcas retain their dialects, and do they teach their offspring their dialects in captivity?

  2. Since (at least historically) they didn't care to put related orcas together, did the orcas learn to communicate with each other somehow despite having different dialects potentially? Or are they unable to communicate except through physical cues?

Edit: spelling

being an orca = perfect life? (almost)

I mean think about it, youre basically a human of the sea assuming u dont wander off from your family. You dont worry about predators and you don't worry about food. The downside would be humans potentially capturing you and locking you up at SeaWorld lol

Port and Starboard off the Southern tip of Africa

Here is a video (not mine) of our world-famous Orcas, Port and Starboard off the South Peninsula - Cape Town, South Africa. This was Thursday afternoon (24/10), and soon afterwards we had a bronze whaler (shark) wash up on a local beach.

Finally got it done!

Been wanting it for a long time but never got around to finding an artist and making it happen. The cruise I happen to be on has, of all things, a tattoo shop. Perfect timing

Orca Model

I figured I'd post this here too. I want to make a game about orcas and I've made my first 3D model. It needs some work but here's the first more or less finished version of it.

Channel Islands?

Hi! Have there been any orca sightings in the Channel Islands this week? Have the chance to go on a small tour on Friday. Just trying to time it the best I can. Thank you for your insights!
