Bigg's killer whales in the San Juan Islands: T34s and T37s on 11/23
มุมมอง 21021 วันที่ผ่านมา
While out on the water for a charter with one our Whale University classes we found the T34s and T37s in Cattle Pass off San Juan Island. It was our first time meeting new calf T34A2! We followed them up San Juan Channel towards Friday Harbor in beautiful conditions (especially for November!).

We’ve been lucky enough over the last few days to see Southern Resident killer whale L90 Ballena and her newborn calf L128 from the shores of San Juan Island. Mom has been actively foraging and calf has looked very spunky. Here are a few video clips of the duo 🥰
Killer Whales in the San Juan Islands: A Week with the T18s and T49As
มุมมอง 1K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
In early September, eight members of the T18 and T49A matrilines spent a lot of time traversing the San Juan Islands in Washington State. We were lucky enough to have a series of incredible encounters with them, both on shore and from the water. These two orca families always seem to have a great time when they're together. Here's a highlight compilation of some of our favorite moments with them.
Northern Resident Killer Whales ~ August 2024
มุมมอง 1.2K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
After two weeks off the north end of Vancouver Island we are back home in the Salish Sea but with lots of data and media to process from 17 total encounters with Northern Resident killer whales. We spent most of our time with members of A1 and A5 Pods, specifically the A23s, A25s, A34s, and A50s. Here's a "first take" video from Jason with some highlights from our time with them!

Sea lion hunt with the T18s, T30Bs, and T117Bs (Feb 2024)
มุมมอง 2K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
We headed out to search for whales with our friends at Maya’s Legacy. Thanks to a tip from the ferries, we found the T18s in Swanson Channel. Soon, they made an abrupt direction change and led us straight to more whales: the T30Bs and T117Bs who were engaged with a Steller sea lion. It was an acrobatic and memorable hunt!
T99s Harbor Porpoise Hunt - February 7, 2024
มุมมอง 3.7K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
We caught up with the T99s in San Juan Channel on the afternoon of February 7th and saw a little bit of everything: resting, traveling, socializing, and a short but epic harbor porpoise hunt! Please note while the video does not contain blood and gore it does contain footage of the porpoise being rammed by the whales.
First Whales of the Year - 2024

January 17 was a snow day on San Juan Island, but with a whale report in San Juan Channel we ventured out to investigate and were rewarded with our first orca encounter of 2024: the T75Bs, T75Cs, and T77D off Cattle Point!

    IMO : We are close to see a remaking of all Social groups and social species. With the amount of data collected in the last 15 years from all that is available to read most conclusions is the following: Orcas are either at the same level of Cognition or close enough to make them the next species to evolve with this "socialisation" like us.

    I apologize to everyone who responded to my comment. I've been experiencing some issues with my app, which caused my comment to be deleted. Thank you for your replies. From what I've read, Esperanza is believed to be around 69 years old, and as you mentioned, she could even be older since her year of birth is only an estimate. Orca lifespan remains a mystery since they haven't been observed enough time to draw definite conclusions. Researchers like you are still working to determine their longevity. The most researched orcas are the Resident and Bigg's orcas found in the Pacific Northwest, but studies on them only started in the 1970s. There are around ten distinct orca ecotypes worldwide, and some of these ecotypes may have longer or shorter lifespans.

    By the look of his dorsan fin, I would assume Loki was a female. Good to know males can gave that curved dorsan fin too. The God os mischief "mischiefed" me. 🤣

    • @ibrahimsultanov7355
      @ibrahimsultanov7355 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The fin of the male is formed by the age of 18-22 years. Loki is only 12.

    • @OrcaBehaviorInstitute
      @OrcaBehaviorInstitute 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      He's still young, so his fin will continue to grow! He's about to become what we call a "sprouter" male, where through their teenage years their fin "sprouts" and grows up to its final height of 4-5' tall and also gets its more triangular shape.

    T123C- Why did they name her "Lucky?"

    • @OrcaBehaviorInstitute
      @OrcaBehaviorInstitute 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Because she was in utero when T123 live stranded! You can read about this situation (and what each of them are named after) on our new page about this matriline: www.orcabehaviorinstitute.org/meet-the-matrilines/t123s

    I was going to adopt an orca for my community with the whale museum, and I had given my community a shortlist to vote from during the month of september, and Ballena was one of the options (because she was on my museum ticket when I visited in July.) It's safe to say the vote may have swayed drastically in the last week :)
