alenaesphotography: I just had a whale of a time with the A4 pod of Northern Resident Orcas near Bella Bella yesterday! The A4 pod also goes by the name of Springer’s Family, named after Springer, the first orca to be successfully reintroduced to the wild after being handled by humans. In 2002, Springer was found emaciated (extremely malnourished) 400km from her family’s territory. Only a calf at the time, she was captured, rehabilitated, and successfully reintroduced to her family in the wild! Photo: “Killer Tails” - Orcas (a.k.a. Killer Whales) (Orcinus orca) - Great Bear Rainforest, BC - May 2015 www.alenaesphotography.com -- source link
