Alright, you let it know. I don't want to pick that kind of fight with an Orca.

But they're supposed rather friendly to humans... Nah. I won't risk being dragon droppings.

Tillikum is so amazing. His size just amazes me so much, and able to get that high out of the water as well.
This is a great shot

He's definitely something to marvel at. Put on such a beautiful show. I just wish the sun had been in a different place so you could really see him that much better. Thanks for the comment.

Have they figures out why the dorsal fin goes limp in captivity?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
The most widely accepted explination for the floppy fin among professionals in and out of the field is that captive whales look for their food above the water, therefore spend a lot more time with their dorsal fins out of the water than they would in the wild, where they look for their food below. Basically gravity takes its toll on the cartilage, but it is no harm to the animal. The flopping happens occasionally, genetically, in the wild.

Live fish could ealy be placed in the tank with the whale for them to hunt. It'd be healthy for the whale (fish can'tm get any fresher than that) and the whales ntural feeding behviors can be better observed.

You don't want to encourage prey chasing behaviors in an animal you intend to reinforce by handfeeding.

Whales don't eat humans, we're not fattening enough. Ohter than vet visits I don't really see where hand feeding has any practical appliction.

They used to say it was the whole captivity thing. But I think thats false. Most scientist believe its something heritetary (so dont know how to spell today) , passed down from their parents. Ive seen wild orcas with folded fins.
