Shot of the day ~ Bigg's Orca

Most people don't realize that the dorsal fin of orca do not have any bone and is made up of **dense fibrous** *connective tissue* and not cartilage. You get a great understanding of this when they surface and you can literally see the fin wobble from side to side.  Now every orca has a unique dorsal fin, which can be an easy way to identify the individual orca.

Take this guy for example T46E, whom was born in 2003 and just getting to his fully grown adult state. You can see a clear 'knick' in his fin half way down and the top of the fin curls slightly the the right.  It is a easy to way to identify whom he is from a distance, as that fin itself is close to 6ft in height.  The rest of family has 6 other members, with his mum, T46 is believed to have been born in 1964.  he is always not too far away from his mum's side ~ *The Ultimate Mummy's Boy!*

No doubt it is a very useful information I did not know anything about it, so it is easier to identify the herd when it approaches. Thanks for always being informed.

Hi Thomas, based on your experience where are the best places to enjoy this fantastic creatures. I enjoyed them watching in Monterey Bay, quite easy to enjoy them there. I was hoping to see them even diving somewhere, since once doing diving in Galapagos the instructor told me they saw one in that spot with a hammerhead shark in the mouth. I was planning to go to British Columbia to enjoy them but now my kid is too small, so maybe I try to see them again here in Spain on the strait of Gibraltar ;)

Your best chance of seeing them would be heading to British Columbia during the summer time. That is the most consistent place to see them year-round.  However, your other consistent spot is just to the North of you in Norway BUT the season for orca up there is during their winter time. Hope this helps and you get the chance to encounter one day soon

Thanks Thomas, British Columbia already in the top of my list. I have small baby I will wait just a bit so he can enjoy it too.
