Yesterday our #DFO flight crew spotted a group of at least a dozen killer whales 25 km off the Newfoundland west coast! Even at an altitude of 350 m it's easy to identify this species.
Only our planet has an ocean filled with life that makes our lives possible. It's time for us to return the favor and take care of the ocean that takes care of us.
Scientists recorded a cardiogram from the largest animal, the blue #whale! When descending, the whales heart beat at two heart bpm. Learn more via @GoldbogenLab and @edyong209 https://t.co/LrV0lyT2FF
DFO team about to necropsy an adult male killer whale that died off northern Newfoundland. Estimated to be 4.3 tonnes! Special thanks to the fisher that towed it in after finding it in his gear - a great opportunity for science to learn more about these elusive whales here.
Whale watching #DFONL style! @drjwlawson & colleagues are tracking fin & humpback #whales they satellite tagged in early August. The whales fed for a few weeks in eastern Newfoundland. Some have moved offshore & a humpback seems to be heading towards the Arctic.

"All Hands" is an expression we use all the time back home to refer to 'everyone'. So for the video I wanted to show all of the people behind the song, album, the "solo" Tim Baker. I hope you enjoy.
