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.

Little T046B1D pops up like a cork beside mom. Thanks to her fat-rich milk, the calf’s orange colour will turn whiter over the next few months.

Wandering male Neilson (T049C) seems to like hanging out in the waters south/southwest of Victoria. Is it the food, 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.

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.
