Het is een belangrijke vraag, zijn ver doorgefokte knuffelwolven wel duurzaam te houden in onze verstedelijkte dichtbevolkte samenleving? Honden/wolven horen thuis in het wild, in echte roedels, in beperkte aantallen. #toppredator
Matriarch Eagle (T090) rushes to catch up with her offspring and two other Bigg’s families. We call this high-speed swimming, or “porpoising.”

Like clockwork, members of the T252 family of outer coast Bigg’s visit our area in the winter months. Here we have (dorsals, L to R): adult female T250, six-year-old T253A, three-year-old T250D and adult male T251.

Female Bigg’s killer whale T241 travels with her 2nd known offspring, T241B. The T241 matriline—rarely seen anywhere—is part of the outer coast Bigg’s subpopulation, first identified by researchers in 2013.

This moment of Zen was brought to us by 16-year-old Barakat (T099C) as he glided through the glassy waters of Saanich Inlet north of Victoria.

Neilson (T049C) prowls along the shoreline for a meal as he heads north in Haro Strait. As a “wandering male,” Neilson lives a solitary life and is rarely seen with other groups.

Wandering male Neilson (T049C) seems to like hanging out in the waters south and southwest of Victoria. Is it the food? Or is it the occasional groups of females that pass through? Or both?

A harbour seal takes refuge in a mass of floating kelp as a hungry T046B1A swims by. Unfortunately for the seal, the kelp sanctuary did not work out very well.

A common murre frantically flaps out of the way as Lynx (T060E) surfaces. Lynx and his brother are well-known for chasing murres and other seabirds for sport!

The T099 and T036A1 families charge off to new adventures after spending the day with a third family. The whale leading this charge, matriarch Bella (T099), is the auntie of the T036A1s!

Here’s a sight a harbour seal would not want to see—matriarch Leland (T036A) lined up side-by-side with three of her offspring! Sights like this reinforce how important family social bonds are to killer whales.

Centeki (T122) punts a young harbour porpoise during a hunt north of Victoria. Harbour porpoise is the second most common prey item for Bigg’s killer whales, after harbour seals.

T038A and her third calf, T038A3, head north in the Strait of Georgia. White “birthmarks” like the one we see here on T038A’s dorsal seem to run in the family. Her younger brother, T038C, has one on the right side of his dorsal!

Granny power! Fifty-five-year-old matriarch T075 surprised us all with four spectacular breaches, including this one!

The T073A family are not commonly seen in this part of the Salish Sea. The tall fin in the middle is adult son Caddy (T073A1). In Bigg’s killer whale society, sons usually stay with their mothers even when fully grown!
