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.
