Credit , © 🎬 ✅ 🖌 @kaskelotta Via @orcalabbc The day of Yukusam☀️ It was in the early morning of February 11’th three years ago that Yukusam the sperm whale first was heard doing his powerful echolocation on the OrcaLab hydrophones in Johnstone Strait. It was a cold and clear day like today and he then graced us with his presence and hypnotizing echolocation for a whole five weeks. The biggest and most evolved brain on the planet right here. Thank you for your visit Yukusam, may you have good foraging wherever you go, and gratitude forever to Jared Towers for taking me with.

Credit © 🎬 ✅Michael Bigg, @exploreorg, @orcalabbc 🖋 Yesterday morning we found the A5’s just off the main rubbing beaches. They popped into Strider for a brief rub. See here A109 from the A23’s and A61 from the A25’s. Both quite recognisable individuals. A61 due not only to his sheer size but also the really cool hook at the top of his dorsal. A109 suffered a terrible injury likely due to a collision with a boat in 2017. You can see the healed scaring just behind her dorsal. So glad to see a full recovery and another reminder of the threats boat pose in the habitats of whales. All footage from inside the Robson Bight (Michael Bigg) Ecological reserve had been captured remotely back at the lab by cameras under permit. Watch live with @exploreorg To learn more about Orcas head to orcalab.org to find out more. 👈🏻🎤🎧 #orca #robsonbight #orcasrubbing #orcalab #johnstonestrait #northernresidentorcas #research #conservation #britishcolumbia #canada https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYBSufBvwH/?igshid=1pf86wbfegr5a

Telegraph Cove is a quaint little harbor and a former fishing and cannery village. It happens to be near one of the single most, concentrated areas in the world to view killer whales in the wild. . #johnstonestrait #killerwhales . . In my opinion, the best whale watching company in the area is not out of #telegraphcove, but rather approximately 20 minutes away in Port McNeill. They are family owned and operated #mackaywhalewatching . Bill and Donna Mackay are pioneers in the whale watching industry. If there are any whales in the area, then Captain Bill will definitely find them. . . . With this being said, I am REALLY looking forward to getting back out on the water soon. Each day is unpredictable, the air is crisp and fresh, and the excitement of hearing the orca’s blows is truly #magical . When I share this with my guy, my family and my friends, then it is #heavenonearth 😍 . Until this quarantine passes please take care and stay well. Looking forward to seeing you all really soon!! ✌🏻❤️🐋 . . . . #ecotravel #wildlifephotography #wildlifeplanet #bcisbeautiful #vancouverisland #whalewatching #cetaceans #savetheocean 💙#beautifuldestinations #whales #orcas #blackfish #marinelife #no #staywild #covid19 #passionpassport #lovetotravel #animals_in_world #oceanlife #traveltheworld #wildlifeonearth #whalesofinstagram #orca (at Telegraph Cove, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAGEcUcAeMs/?igshid=yu19ex8vihxh

Credit © 🖋 ✅ @thejourney_and_thedestination ~~ “On the Dark Side” ~~ . . I tend to photograph darker than most. I enjoy inflecting mood into my photos. This assists me with telling you the story and giving you a true sense of my moment with these beautiful animals. ~ Can you hear their blows? Do feel the cold wind on your face, smell the ocean, and are you marveling at the beauty of #johnstonestrait ? ~ Are you excited cause they’re swimming our way?! Awesome, right??! ~ If so, then I’ve accomplished my goal. 🥰 When I see this photo I’m right back on the Naiad Explorer feeling a great sense of #gratitude for even being able to witness this. I usually will have a small tear in my eye and always a feeling of awe. ~ I hope you enjoy my pic and gain a sense of my appreciation for these northern resident, fish eating only, orca whales. ❤️ #moody #loveanimals . . . #wildlifeplanet #whales #orca #blackfish #wildandfree #killerwhale #beautiful_world #discover_earth #animalplanet #passportready #britishcolumbia #instaanimals #discovertheworld #wildlife_photography #discoverocean #natgeotraveler #yourshotphotographer #beautifulbc #wildlifeconservation #vancouverisland #discoverocean #oceanconservation #cetaceans https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dQgVjhNW8/?igshid=16vvun0hyx0dj
