📷 & 📝 by @rog_freedive: Breach. There are few marine animals who evoke the might and magnificence of the oceans as whales do. Thats probably why whales have been considered divine figures by many ancient cultures. In Polynesian mythology, Tangaroa, the god of the ocean, is often portrayed as a whale. • For the Darkinjung people in NSW, Australia, whales have a central role in the stories of creation (Dreamtime). The story tells that Gyian the whale was the favourite animal of the creator Baiyami. Baiyami took Gyian the whale on his canoe in a journey though the milky way (Mirrabooka) from the spirit world to the place Earth would be born. After the Earth was created, Baiyami told Gyian that this will be its dreaming place, where it will continue the work of Baiyami. Gyian intermingled with other creatures passing on the laws of Baiyami and spreading the kinship of life. • #repost #rogfreedive #dreamtime #indigenousstories #humpback #humpbackwhale #whalebreach #uwphoto #whales #uwphotographer #whale #oceanphoto - @oceanographic_mag on Instagram

- A Hectors Dolphin has a blocked blowhole. Ordinarily, this would kill a dolphin as it wouldnt be able to breathe, but this particular dolphin has learned to breathe through its mouth instead. This behaviour has never been observed in dolphins before.

Las orcas, también llamadas orcas asesinas, son uno de los más fabulosos e impresionantes depredadores del mundo. El único peligro que corren son por culpa del ser humano, ya que no existe otra criatura en el mar que pueda ser una amenaza para ellos. Pertenecen al grupo de los mamíferos acuáticos como las ballenas, leones marinos. Las ballenas orcas u orcas asesinas pertenecen al orden Delphinidae, por lo que en realidad son delfines, a pesar de llamarse ”ballenas”. De hecho, las orcas son los mayores delfines existentes, midiendo hasta 30 pies de largo y pesando 10.000 libras de promedio en su etapa adulta. - @faunaendemica on Instagram

NUEVA TRIUNFADA En la salida de este viernes con Verballenas.com gracias al espectáculo que nos han dado cuatro grandes ballenas picudas de Cuvier, también conocidos como zifios, en sus persecuciones en pleno celo entre dos machos y dos hembras. La verdad que ha sido llegar a la zona top y empezar a disfrutar como enanos oyendo y viendo sus soplos y sus grandes lomos emerger continuamente junto a nosotros. Incluso una hembra ha llegado a dar un semisalto más con la intención de investigarnos que de otra cosa. Genial. También hemos disfrutado con dos manadas de Delfines comunes. Sobre todo con la primera, gracias a la guardería de enanos y los jovencitos que venían una y otra vez bajo nuestra proa a jugar con nosotros. Los próximos días os mostraremos a un miembro de esta manada de morfo oscuro. Interesante Atunes rojos y bonitos del norte, Peces lunas saltando, un Tiburón azul e incluso un Pez volador con un largo planeo nos han entretenido el día. En aves marinas muy poca cosa pero variado... Págalo rabero, pomarino y grande, Paíño común y Leach, Alcatraces, Pardelas capirotada, cenicienta, balear y sombría... así como una Lechuza campestre y Mosquiteros musicales nos han completado el día.

Despite some foggy conditions on Sunday morning’s whale watch, we managed to find a pair of Humpback Whales. One of the individuals, Gulf of Maine Humpback 1504, took an interest in the Privateer IV, spyhopping and lifting its head out of the water multiple times. The whale watch turned into a people watch thanks to this curious humpback!

For this weeks #WildlifeWednesday we are exploring the frigid waters around Antarctica! Killer whales (Orcinus orca) come in many forms (also called ecotypes) and can be found across the globe. In the North Pacific ocean there are three known ecotypes: Residents, Biggs (formally Transients), and Offshores. Each ecotype has their own unique prey preferences, foraging techniques, dialects, behaviors and social groups. In the waters around Antarctica there are at least five distinct ecotypes: Antarctic Type A, Pack ice Type B (large form), Gerlache Type B (small form), Ross Sea Type C, and Sub-Antarctic Type D. Today we will be investigating the largest of the Antarctic killer whales, Type A. . Type A killer whales can grow to an impressive size with males reaching up to 9 meters and 7.7 meters for females. In the waters around Clayoquot Sound, Biggs killer whales are typically the largest and can reach 8 meters in length. Type A killer whales are found around the entire Antarctic continent, in open water, often in family groups of 10-15 individuals. There is evidence to suggest that they migrate from lower latitudes to Antarctic waters during the austral summer months in pursuit of their preferred prey: Antarctic mike whales. Type A killer whales use sophisticated teamwork between family members to pursue minke whales, often over long distances. Like other ecotypes, they work together in a coordinated effort to bring down their prey and share food amongst members. In addition to preying on minke whales, Type As have been recorded hunting southern elephant seals. A bull elephant seal can weigh up to 4,000kg making them the largest extant marine mammal that is not a cetacean. Analysis of stomach contents of Type A killer whales indicates that 89.7% of their diet is composed of marine mammals, 7.1% squid and 3.2% fish. . Have you ever been to Antarctica? Which ecotype would you like to learn more about? .

Did you know that the CA51’s starred in the pilot episode of The Blue Planet (original) that aired on September 12th 2001? — 12 million UK viewers watch the episode that had a segment focused on gray whale predations by killer whales based in Monterey Bay. It shows matriarch Star, as a young mom, including CA51A Aurora (who was still a young whale traveling with her mothers pod). I think CA51B Orion can also be seen as a small calf (someone correct me on that if I’m wrong). Bumper was not yet born. Just a little neat piece of CA killer whale history for ya on this Thursday night!

C’est une victoire pour les défenseurs de la cause animale. La présentation d’animaux sauvages dans les cirques itinérants va être « progressivement » interdite en France, ainsi que la reproduction et l’introduction de nouvelles orques et de dauphins dans les trois delphinariums du pays, a annoncé mardi 29 septembre la ministre de la transition écologique, Barbara Pompili. Elle n’a pas donné de calendrier précis pour la mise en œuvre de ces interdictions. - Un orque au parc dattraction Sea World, à San Diego, aux Etats-Unis, en 2014.

- F A T F I N - C A 1 7 1 B - is an orphaned adult male killer whale. Born around the turn of the century he has become a favorite of California whale watchers. Orphaned at a very young age when his mother died in the early 2000’s his survival is actually very uncommon for a whale orphaned so young. He is frequently seen traveling alone but is also sighted with other orphaned males, or sometimes with other CA Biggs matrilines. — Fatfin is easily identifiable by his thicc dorito shaped dorsal fin and his unusually slim eye patch. He is most frequently spotted in Monterey Bay, but has been seen as far north as British Colombia. Last seen on Saturday, we are excited to see where this badass whale will pop up next!

This Humpback whale shows it’s powerful strength while throwing it’s tail. This is called a peduncle throw. In a peduncle throw the whale throws its tail sideways, slamming into the water with a huge splash. I love the waterfall seen on last image. I’m not sure of it’s already named but if not I’d call him Snowflake ❄️ Seen while aboard @danawharf Ocean Adventure with Captain Steve. #whalenation #pedunclethrow #explore_wildlife #wildlife.hd #excellent_nature #ig_shotz_animals #danawharf #nbcla #abc7eyewitness #cityofdanapoint #nuts_about_wildlife #nbcla #discoverocean #ig_shotz_animal #wildlife_perfection #danapoint_harbor #exclusive_wildlife #allnatureshots #marvelouz_animals #whales #whalesnation #discoverwildlife #ocean_ocean #wildlife.hd #humpbackwhale #explore_wildlife #ig_naturelovers #splendid_animals #roamtheoceans #thelifeofwhales #sea #thewildlife.ocean #discovery #humpbackwhale - @loriannah on Instagram

Se conmemora el Día Nacional de la Ballena Franca Austral para recordar que el 25 de septiembre de 2002 la comunidad de Puerto Pirámides se unió para rescatar a “Garra”, una ballena de un año de edad que se enredó en las cadenas del fondeo de una embarcación. Los guías balleneros y buzos locales fueron los primeros que intentaron desenredarla. Pero, la imposibilidad de acceder a las cadenas bajo el agua, los llevó a tomar la original decisión de vararla intencionalmente para cortar las cadenas en la playa. Garra afortunadamente sobrevivió a pesar de las heridas y el estrés sufridos y fue re-avistado sano y en buenas condiciones en 2006. - @elpatagonico on Instagram

I shot this at ISO 6400, not an ideal ISO for blowing up prints to fill an entire wall perhaps, but pushing my ISO is what enabled me to capture this image (and I’m still able to print it the size of a standard gallery print). Today’s tip: Don’t be afraid to push your ISO when photographing wildlife. Coming from more of a landscape and portrait background, you learn very early on to never compromise your photo by increasing the ISO over a certain point, really if at all. It is always ideal to have the lowest ISO possible and to keep it at 100. To preserve the photo and keep the ISO low, landscape and portrait photographs will make use of a tripod in order to allow them to slow down their shutter speed to let in more light while maintaining a sharp image. In the case of wildlife photography, it is essential to be flexible with your ISO and push it to maintain a fast enough shutter speed to enable your camera to capture a moving subject in low light like an orca in dark water under minimal daylight. Would you ever swim with orcas and humpbacks?! Just so you know we do this every year ;) Gear: Canon 5D Mark IV Canon 16-35mm Aquatica Housing Settings: 1/125 f/3.2 ISO 6400 Shot at 18mm Location: Norway Arctic Ocean Photo by instructor for the Wildlife Photo Course @jenninaturally #UltimatePhotoCourse - @ultimatephotocourse on Instagram

Poise and grace. A perfect moment between mother and child in the South Pacific. Humpback whales extraordinarily long pectoral fins (1/3their bid at length) are unique in the cetacean world, allowing them to be quite acrobatic, spinning rolling and arching mostly for the pleasure of movement it seems. - @scottwilsonimagery on Instagram

Learn more at www.braidedriver.org/orca The event will also include a dialogue with Helen Cherullo, Executive Director of Braided River, the publisher of Lynda’s forthcoming book ORCA: Shared Waters, Shared Home, about how multimedia conservation storytelling can be leveraged to build a movement to protect and recover the Salish Sea and the orca and salmon who call this place home. More about ORCA: Shared Water, Shared Home ORCA is an important new book project coming out Spring 2021 about our Puget Sound region, with meaning and implications that will resonate around the globe. Brought to life by the enduring partnership of two local and independent media—The Seattle Times and @mtnbooks and its conservation arm Braided River— and written by award-winning environmental reporter Lynda Mapes, with photos by Times photographer Steve Ringman. This book will be the foundation for an ambitious Braided River outreach campaign, with live multimedia events, expanded programming and community collaborations.

Here’s a dolphin, jumping out of the swell. Is it a robot? It’s quite hard to tell. __ This week we learned that a New Zealand-based company called Edge Innovations has created awesomely cool robotic dolphins so realistic that you apparently can’t tell them from the real thing. But they cost an eye-watering $26m each according to the @guardian. Well - we’ve created our own version that - as with all our creations - also looks exactly like the real thing. But this one’s just a picture - and didn’t cost $26m. __ #thingsihavedrawn #dolphin #edgeinnovations - @thingsihavedrawn on Instagram

Surfing around 🏄⠀ ⠀ Commersons Dolphins can often be found surfing and playing in the waters around Patagonia and the Falkland Islands. With distinctive colouring and a slightly smaller build, these active, playful creatures sure know how to get attention. Theyre even known to swim upside down occasionally — not a bad party trick. 🐬 ⠀ ⠀ We can help you discover South America!⠀ For more info⠀ 📱0400213021⠀ 📧 ann@atgtravel.com.au⠀ ⠀ #aroundtheglobetravelaustralia #travelinspiration #ATGtravel #travel #independanttravelagent #traveltips #holiday #relax #explore #inspire #makingmemories #livelife #moments #world #travelagent #commersonsdolphin #falklandislands - @aroundtheglobetravelaus on Instagram

We sure picked an amazing week to run four of our famous Extended 8hr Offshore Trips! We had glassy blue water, blue skies, and BLUE WHALES! All of our trips encountered multiple Blue Whales, including cow/calf pairs and some VERY friendly large adults! (see video on our Facebook page!) There has been so much whale activity about 60-70 miles offshore, and while these trips enjoyed the worlds largest animal, there was also reports of Orcas and Sperm Whales in the outer waters! Thats what makes these extended trips so special, you just never know what we might find out there! As a reminder, every Friday and Sunday in September is going to be an extended trip, and we will be adding more to the schedule this evening as well so be sure to stay tuned to our social media pages for updates! These trips sell out incredibly fast, and you do NOT want to miss this opportunity! No other company in San Diego offers anything like this!

Somos afortunados que actualmente estos hermosos animales han recuperado su población, aunque aún hay países que l@s siguen cazando..Hay que seguir creando conciencia que las ballenas y delfines deben estar vivos y libres en su hábitat!! . . #ballenasydelfineslibres #noalacazaconfinescientificos #wildlife - @quilunecoturismomarino on Instagram

Another birth for the endangered Southern Resident orcas of the Pacific Northwest! The Center for Whale Research has confirmed that J41, (Eclipse) gave birth on September 24th. This great news for the Jpod comes just 20 days after the announcement of Tahlequahs (J35) birth of a male calf, two years after the loss of her calf after just 18 days, and her heartbreaking tour of grief that she shared with the world. Reports share that her new calf J57, is doing very well! . The J,K and L pod Southern Resident orca population faces the ongoing risks of their declining food source (chinook salmon), boat traffic, noise, and pollution. These two births in one month are indeed cause for celebration, but this critically endangered population is still very much at risk. These two beautiful newborns bring the J,K, & L pod population up to 74 individuals. We wish the new Jpod family members well! 💙🐳 #newmom #motherhood #srkw #endangered #orcas #jpod #chinooksalmon #southernresidentkillerwhales #pnw 💙 Photo: @talia.goodyear @leahvanderwiel @orcaspiritvic @pacificwhalewatch - @whalesanctuaryproject on Instagram

The Breach! The Oceans Initiative Canadian field team struck gold yesterday. @RyanTidman and @CaptWillson were spending the morning with some herring bait balls near some feeding humpback whales when suddenly a pod of transient orcas appeared. Attention quickly turned to the orcas, and within seconds they were breaching and tail slapping, making their presence known. It wasnt until nearly an hour later that @RyanTidman checked his camera to review images to find this breach frozen in time. Swipe to see this powerful image in all its glory. 📸 @ryantidman / @oceansinitiative - @oceansinitiative on Instagram

I’m going on one month of being without my camera, and it’s starting to get to me... This photo is one of the last I was able to take before sending it off to @nikoncanada. We had two humpbacks going off in the Juan de Fuca Strait while in 5-10ft swells. The swell was so big at some points that we could see the humpbacks rising through them before actually breaching the waters surface. Hopefully something happens with my camera soon, I’ve been missing some incredible opportunities out there. - @karaclindsay on Instagram

La fin de la présence d’orques et dauphins dans des delphinariums inadaptés. La ministre de la Transition écologique, #BarbaraPompilii, a déclaré ce mardi la fin progressive des animaux sauvages dans les cirques itinérants, des delphinariums, ou encore, la fin de lélevage de visons dAmérique pour les fourrures. Un tournant majeur pris par le gouvernement, qui souhaite mettre un terme à la fascination ancestrale pour ces êtres sauvages ne se traduise plus par des situations où lon favorise leurs captivités par rapport à leur bien être, a déclaré la ministre. Un vent de liberté et un respect des animaux qui ne fera pas de mal à notre planète.

Each year, humpback whales draw thousands of visitors to the south-eastern coast of NSW – but you need to know the best places to see them. Weve rounded up the four top spots you can catch these majestic mammals, and where to eat after. You could get fish’n’chips with a view, head to an 88-year-old boozer or try Rick Stein’s South Coast outpost. Road trip?

Photo by @mitty // Today, Lofoten in Norway is one of the richest marine ecosystems in the world. Frigid waters well up from the continental shelf here, carrying nutrients that support the planet’s largest cold water reef, along with massive populations of foundation fish. These attract some of the biggest concentrations of cetaceans in the world (humpbacks, sperm whales, and orcas) which put on incredible feeding displays as they drive herring into bait balls and gorge on the much-needed protein. In the spring of 2019, @sealegacy worked with partners in Norway—including @folkeaksjonen, @friends_earth Norway, Young Friends of the Earth Norway, and Workers Youth League—to support, amplify, and galvanize a movement to permanently protect Lofoten in Vesterålen and Senja in northern Norway from oil development. More than 53,000 SeaLegacy supporters joined together and signed the petition to tell the Norwegian parliament that the world was watching, that they stood with Norwegians in protecting this region for generations to come. On April 6, 2019, after the petition signatures were shared, a solid majority of Norway’s Labour Party voted to protect the Lofoten region from oil development, marking a critical turning point in this movement.

Sometimes I hear people on whale watches express disappointment when humpback whales don’t breach, like it’s a given. Personally, I’m still shocked that breaches happen at all. On earth, in real life, today, there are 40 ton animals that can shoot 90% of their body out of the water. It sounds unlikely and I still barely believe my eyes when I see it in person. And no, it doesn’t happen on every single whale watch. But that’s why, even with so many days on the water and a pretty terrible memory, I can clearly recall every single breach I’ve seen. Breaches are special, whales are beautiful, and nature is best enjoyed when you don’t take any of it for granted. • • • • • • • • • • • • #oceanlife #waterlust #lovetheocean #bluesea #marinemammals #whalewatching #whales #humpbackwhale #yourshotphotographer #teamcanon #wildplanet #wildlifephotographer #discoverocean - @chelseamayerphotography on Instagram

Гигантский горбатый кит устроил туристам невероятное шоу В субботу 31 августа в Сиднее было пасмурно и прохладно, но на морскую прогулку, обещавшую наблюдение за китами, собралось много желающих. Экскурсия вышла на славу: туристам посчастливилось целых полтора часа наблюдать за молодым горбатым китом, который все время выныривал на поверхность. Это было захватывающее представление! ₽ Это был обычный экскурсионный тур, организованный компанией Whale Watching Sydney. По мнению специалистов, именно в плохую погоду горбатые киты склонны больше времени проводить на поверхности. И тогда самое время за ними наблюдать! А в хорошую погоду они выныривают два-три раза, не больше. Почему горбатые киты чаще выныривают из воды в пасмурную и холодную погоду, точно неизвестно. Есть мнение, что они делают это для привлечения других китов, общения или в качестве предупреждения самцов-соперников. Так что экскурсантом очень повезло - они попали на представление длиной 90 минут, которое шло без антракта. Горбатые киты, несмотря на свои внушительные размеры, - не самые большие из китообразных. Они могут вырасти до 18 метров в длину и весить около 40 тонн, что составляет примерно половину от размеров синего кита. Но маленькими их тоже не назовешь. И если такая махина вдруг выныривает из воды в нескольких метрах от тебя - должно быть, это и восторг, и ужас одновременно! - @planetaocean on Instagram

Our showstoppers today on Stellwagen Bank were Dome and Music’s 2020 calf. We encountered Dome on both trips today. In the morning she was surface active and in the afternoon she was feeding with some bubble blasts and surface lunging. Music and calf were close to the boat in the afternoon and the calf spent a lot of time laying and rolling on top of mom. As we slowly turned to leave Music’s calf surprised us all with a breach by the boat! - @capeannwhalewatch on Instagram

- Killer Whales are some of the most social animals in existence. The base of this is the matriline, the direct descent of the matriarch. A pod may form from one or more matrilines, and share descent from a distant common matriarch. The strong matrilineal bond makes the social order very stable.

There may be nothing stronger than mother-calf bond 🐳 It is well-known that orcas, among many other mammals, grieve their dead calves. Calf mortality may reach 50% during the first year of life. 📸 This is an aerial photo of a female carrying a dead calf for several days last winter in northern Norway. Maintaining surveys and recording individuals reproduction history is important to track the demographics and growth (or decline) of killer whales in Norway. @vesteralen @visitvesteralen #orcas #orca #amazing #photooftheday #greiving #orcacalf #killerwhale - @norwegianorcasurvey on Instagram

Have you ever heard of right whale dolphins? There are two species of right whale dolphins and this is a southern right whale dolphin. Both southern and northern right whale dolphins lack a dorsal fin - like beluga whales - but they are actually dolphins. Southern right whale dolphins are one of the least well-known species of dolphins, in part due to its preference for deep, oceanic waters and its distribution throughout the cool temperate sub-Antarctic waters of the southern hemisphere. In addition, they are only one of two species of right whale dolphins, but we think theyre pretty cool! 😎 📷: Pablo Caceres Contreras . . . #rightwhaledolphin #rightwhaledolphins #dolphin #species #dolphins #dolphinwatching #dolphinlove #dolphinsofinstagram #dolphins🐬 #dolphinsallday #dolphinsareawesome #southern #northern #hemisphere #antarctic #antarctica #saveourocean #saveouroceanlife - @whalesorg on Instagram

France is bringing an end to the captivity of dolphins and whales! In a press conference on Tuesday, France’s minister of ecological transition announced that orca and dolphin shows will be gradually phased out over the next 7-10 years. 🇫🇷 Effective immediately, the country’s three marine parks are not allowed to import or breed dolphins or orcas, and no new dolphinariums will be built. “It is time to open a new era in our relationship with these (wild) animals” said the minister, arguing that animal welfare is a priority. . The movement against dolphin and whale captivity is unstoppable. As more countries take a stand for these intelligent animals who suffer endlessly in captive conditions, the need for sanctuaries is pressing!

Its been a killer ( 😉 ) month for #killerwhales along the trail, with our resident #orca spotted from many sites - including Ardnamurchan Lighthouse and Glengorm just last night! Pictured are our local legends John Coe and Aquarius, two male killer whales from the West Coast Community. The Scottish gaelic for orca is madah-cuain which translates as ocean-wolf - an apt name for these intelligent creatures as they live and hunt in pods, and have even been known to prey on minke whales!

À notre plainte pour Aïcko, le dauphin mort en se jetant contre le mur d’un de leursbassins, Planète Sauvage répond en nous accusant : 1️⃣ de devoir soutenir psychologiquement ses salariés face à nos critiques, 2️⃣ davoir fait chuter les entrées 3️⃣ et nous réclame 100000€. À la suite du passage de nos enquêteurs fin mai lors du déconfinement, quand la limite des cent kilomètres autour du domicile étaient encore en application, le parc nous avait menacés de porter plainte si l’on publiait des images. On l’a fait, car c’est précisément notre rôle de défendre les dauphins captifs des bassins. C’est à leurs yeux la goutte qui a fait déborder le vase, et le delphinarium nantais, qui dit perdre de l’argent par notre faute, a déposé une main courante qui a enrichi leur réplique dans le cadre de notre plainte sur la mort d’Aïcko. Ils veulent nous réduire au silence en exigeant dorénavant de la justice que nous leur versions 100 000 euros ! Au lieu de répondre à notre plainte pour Aïcko en présentant des documents exhaustifs et en faisant profil bas — après tout, un delphineau est décédé en se jetant contre le mur d’un de leurs bassins —, ils préfèrent nous attaquer et réclamer une somme astronomique dans le but de nous faire taire. Ils espèrent qu’en nous privant de ces ressources, nous n’aurons plus les moyens de mener nos combats. Ils ont tenté de nous bâillonner avec des menaces. Et comme nous ne nous taisons pas, à présent, ils mettent leurs menaces à exécution devant les tribunaux. En demandant une telle somme, le groupe puissant qui possède de nombreux parcs dont Planète Sauvage sait ce qu’il fait. Mais il n’a pas l’air de nous connaître. Inlassablement, nous continuerons de dénoncer ce que subissent les dauphins ! Rien ne nous arrêtera ! #StopDelphinarium - @onevoiceanimal on Instagram

After three years of development, a team of scientists and oceanographers from around the country has created a solution to whale fatalities caused by ship collisions and is debuting it right here in the Santa Barbara Channel. Whale Safe, an online tool providing near-real-time data to detect endangered whales, not only rates whale presence but also ranks shipping companies by their sensitivity to marine life. Morgan Visalli — a project scientist at Benioff Ocean Initiative, the UCSB-based collaboration of universities and oceanographic institutes that created the tool — says, “Nobody wants to hit or kill a whale, and they especially don’t want to come into port with a whale wrapped over the bow of a ship.” -- Benioff Ocean Initiative will hold a public information webinar on Whale Safe on Friday, October 2, at 11 a.m. PST. RSVP by emailing boi-whalesafe@ucsb.edu. Read the link in our bio for more details. Image: Courtesy - @sbindependent on Instagram

The newest Southern Resident orca, just a few weeks old, has been confirmed to be a BOY. According to reports, baby (J57) and his mom Tahlequah (J35) are both doing well. . It has been two years since Tahlequah lost her young calf who lived for only half an hour, whom she carried for 17 days in a Tour of Grief that garnered worldwide attention. . The endangered Southern Resident population of the Salish Sea continue to face the challenges of their declining food source of chinook salmon, boat noise and traffic, and pollution. The birth of J57 is very good news, bringing the population of these whales to 73. We wish mom, calf and all of the Jpod residents well! 🐳 Photo: @hysazu #southernresidentkillerwhales #tahlequah #orca #jpod #srkw #endangered #wildlife #nature #sanjuanislands #pod #motherhood - @whalesanctuaryproject on Instagram

Did you know... 💡 The Arctic is home to 17 different species of whales. Belugas, bowheads, and narwhals are the only whales to inhabit Arctic waters all year round. Others, such as the gray whale and humpback whale (on the photo), migrate to cool Arctic waters during the summer in search of food sources and to give birth. These spectacular wild animals are often as popular as polar bears! No wonder why 😊🙌🏼 In this photo & video you are looking at a Humpback whale, a species that can weight 25-30 metric tons and range from 12-16 m 😮 Supporting the Arctic also means supporting ocean life! 🐋💙 📸 Photo credits to @asasteinars for the amazing & inspiring work!

France’s environment minister, Barbara Pompili, has announced a gradual ban on using wild animals in travelling circuses and keeping dolphins and killer whales in captivity in marine parks. Bears, tigers, lions, elephants and other wild animals will also no longer be allowed in travelling circuses “in the coming years” whilst marine parks will be banned from bringing in or breeding dolphins and killer whales. Arguing that animal welfare is a priority, Pompili said: “It is time to open a new era in our relationship with these (wild) animals”, although the ban does not apply to wild animals in other permanent shows and in zoos.

Humpback whales: Of all the large whale species, humpbacks are the most animated and acrobatic. They can leap clear of the water, executing spectacular breaches. Another feature of these amazing whales is their long pectoral flippers which are almost one third of their body length, the longest of any whale. And they sing songs heard on recordings and in movies. https://savethewhales.org/humpback-whale/ #savethewhales #humpbackwhale #funfact - @savethewhalesca on Instagram

Got to play around with some majestic creatures yesterday. Once upon a time, when I was just a wee lad of 3, maybe 4 years old, I was obsessed with this song called “Baby Beluga” by #raffi who was a legend in my young eyes at the time. If you’re wondering whether or not I had that song on repeat in my head the entirety of the interaction in which these photos were taken, the answer is yes. Aluah was a female, she was feisty but she let me dance with her. Ferdinand was a male and a few years older, he was a bit of a prankster and decided to bid us goodbye with a tail full of water to the face. Pretty incredible day. #dreamfulfilled #beluga #majestic #whoamikiddingistilllovethatsong - @itsaduchi on Instagram

Este ha sido el encuentro cercano con ballenas más impactante que me ha tocado vivir. Mientras nos acercábamos por detrás de las ballenas cuando salían a respirar, sin querer mi amigo Bernardo, quien manejaba diestramente el zodiak en Alaska para que yo pudiera fotografiar la cola al hundirse, se acercó demasiado cuando emergió, lo que provocó una reacción de un gran coletazo de advertencia a escasos metros. La violencia y el estruendo fue algo indescriptible. La foto fue tomada con gran angular, dando la apariencia de estar la cola mas lejos de lo que realmente estaba: a sólo unos cinco metros !!! - @nicolaspiwonka on Instagram

This is the most amazing news weve heard all week! An orca who became famous around the world in 2018 when she carried her stillborn calf aloft in the water for 17 days has given birth to a healthy baby.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The not-for-profit Center for Whale Research spotted the baby, dubbed J-57, “swimming vigorously alongside its mother”, named Tahlequah, on Saturday in waters near the border between the US state of Washington and the Canadian province of British Columbia. They estimate that the calf was born on Friday. - @jappermedia on Instagram

A New Calf for the Southern Resident Orcas! It has been just two years since Tahlequah (J-35), a member of the endangered Southern Resident orca population, gave birth to a calf, who lived only half an hour. Last week, Tahlequah gave birth once again. And according to the Center for Whale Research on September 6th, her new baby, J-57, appears to be doing well: “Her new calf appeared healthy and precocious, swimming vigorously alongside its mother in its second day of free-swimming life. We know that it was not born today because its dorsal fin was upright, and we know that it takes a day or two to straighten after being bent over in the womb, so we assign its birthday as September 4, 2020. (Ergo gestation commenced in February 2019). . The good news and excitement over the new birth is tempered by the fact that the southern residents are officially designated an endangered population and that the mortality rate for young calves is 40 percent. Their troubles are largely due to three factors: the continuing decline of their preferred food chinook salmon; boat noise and traffic; and the pollution of the waters of the Salish Sea. However, the new baby is the third to be born to the southern residents since 2019, and the other two continue to survive. We wish them all well in the days ahead! Head to our website to read our full blog post about this wonderful news! Link in bio.

France’s Ecological Transition Minister, Barbara Pompili, has announced a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses to take effect ‘over the next few years’ as well as measures against keeping dolphins and killer whales in captivity in marine parks and the raising of mink on fur farms. Pompeii announces that It is time that our ancestral fascination with these wild beings no longer translates into situations where their captivity is favored over their well-being. With more than 20 European countries that already limit or ban animals in circuses, France is next and with around 500 wild animals in French circuses they’ve got a long way to go. Pompeli states solutions will be found on a case-by-case basis, with each circus, for each animal. They will also be spending eight million euros to help circuses and dolphinariums adapt to the new bans. This will include Frances three dolphinariums no longer being able to breed new dolphins or killer whales - or have any transported in from other countries. 🐬 - @uniladadventure on Instagram
Worldwide, over 600,000 wild animals live in captivity, even though many aren’t endangered or in need of protection. Even worse: only a small percentage of places where these wild animals are being held have actually been accredited and verified.⠀ ⠀ One animal that all too often suffers this fate: orcas. They’re caught in the wild, placed into tiny tanks, then gawked at by tourists for the rest of their lives. It’s cruel, but it’s also preventable. If we choose to only support travel activities that don’t interfere with an animal’s wild, natural life, these glorified prisons will be forced to change their ways.⠀ ⠀ Travel can change the world.

A female orca known best for carrying her dead calf with her for more than two weeks in apparent grief is now mother to a healthy male. Tahlequah, a killer whale living a pod of whales in Pacific Northwest waters, gave birth in early September. Researchers determined this week that her new calf is a boy, after examining images from a photographer who observed the orca pod on Tuesday near Point Roberts, Washington. The calf, known as J57 to researchers, was frolicking alongside Tahlequah (also known as J35) with other orcas close by, photographer Sara Hysong-Shimazu said in a news release from the Pacific Whale Watch Association. “It was really touching to see how active and social they were together and to see J57 surfacing with both his mom and surrounded by others in the community,” Hysong-Shimazu said. “He certainly seemed spunky and energetic!” Tahlequah made headlines in 2018 for carrying her dead calf, which had died minutes after being born, for 17 days. Deborah Giles, a research scientist at the University of Washington’s Center for Conservation Biology, told HuffPost at the time that she felt it was accurate to describe the behavior as grieving. “This is completely unprecedented, and honestly your guess is as good as ours as far as what is going on here,” Giles said. “I think it’s really easy to put human emotions on it, but personally I think it’s accurate. I think she is grieving.” Tahlequah isn’t the only whale in her pod to have given birth recently. J41, also known as Eclipse, gave birth to a “rambunctious little bundle of baby” on Thursday, naturalist Leah Vanderwiel said in a release from the PWWA. Eclipse’s calf’s sex and overall health are still unknown. Read more at our link in bio. // 📷 Katie Jones, Center for Whale Research - @huffpost on Instagram
