#OrcaAwarenessMonth is almost over! Wherever you live in the world there are many ways that you can help protect the Southern Resident Killer Whales. Choosing sustainable seafood, especially when it comes to salmon is a great place to start. Since plastics are a problem around the world and garbage can travel 1000s of km for 100s of years in the ocean being careful with how you appropriately dispose of your waste is another key action to a safer environment for all marine life. ⠀⠀ Photo by @kathrynsahara⠀⠀ #whaletales #whales #killerwhales #orca #orcamonth #SRKW #juneisorcamonth #killerwhalemonth #savetheSRKW #salmon #talesofsavingwhales #whalewatching #getonaboat #salishsea #photography #whalesareawesome #whalesofinstagram #nofishnoblackfish #exploreBC #orcalove #orcaactionmonth #orcstory https://www.instagram.com/p/CQlu9k9rSTF/?utm_medium=tumblr

June is #OrcaAwarenessMonth We would love to hear about the first killer whale you saw in the wild!

It's #FunFactFriday and June is #OrcaAwarenessMonth! Did you know that New Zealand is home to between 150-200 killer whales who can be seen most frequently from December and March?! They forage on numerous species but some specialize in catching stingrays right in Wellington Harbour!⠀ Photo by @gary_j27⠀ #whaletales #whales #orca #killerwhale #orcamonth #NewZealand #juneisorcamonth #killerwhalemonth #didyouknow #whalewatching #getonaboat⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/ByakB1KjR-i/?igshid=767ewe18fx4q

It's #FunFactFriday and June is #OrcaAwarenessMonth! Southern Resident killer whales are the best studied group of cetaceans anywhere in the world and may be some of the best studied animals, period. Since the 1960s researchers have been learning as much as possible about the lives of these whales including increasingly specific studies of population numbers, social dynamics, acoustic behaviour, prey preference, predatory techniques, and range distribution - to name only a few. They are some of the only animals we know of to concretely display social learning as many of their behaviours are passed on from mother to calf through generations. A matriarchal species, calves almost always stay with their mothers, regardless of sex, for their entire lives. Tremendously picky eaters for such a large predator, SRKWs survive primarily on a diet of Chinook salmon.
