Its wonderful to read about Orcas. Humans can learn from many animals but especially Orcas as they stay within their families for many years taking care of each other. Very intuitive animals and very caring. Even though they are trained to perfom in front of multitudes everywhere in the world wherebthere are facilities that do hold them, I think that sort of entertainmentbshould be banned. Good example to see was the life of Keiko. Who was captured verynyoung and because it developed some sort of bacteria in its pectorals he really didn’t adjust to living in captuvity and when after manynyears of entertaining humans, they released Keiko back intonthe wild, he just couldnt cope with being alone, and he succumbed to pneumonia and passed away. Freedom for Keiko cost him his life. Its a shame. All performing Orcas in captuvity for monetary gains should be released back intontheir home..the ocean..Salanaa Eiyung Ayesis
Having a sister that is heavy involved the world of whales, visit The Whale Museum, San Juan Island. If you aren’t able to go to The Whale Museum then I encourage all to visit their website to follow certain pods of Orcas. Adults and kids alike find it fascinating. Keep up the excellent work! I applaud you!!
You said a Gray whale was seen swimming an average of 3 mph with his fluke missing. You should write in the article what a fluke is for those of us that have no idea what a fluke is.
