If I lived anywhere in the vicinity, I would be there as often as possible to watch these fascinating, intelligent creatures. I watch at least one orca video a day, usually before going to sleep. Hoping one night I will dream of swimming with them.

It's the A42s of the Northern Resident population! The big male with that massive dorsal fin is called Surf, and the orca coming up that close is Current. :) And the newborn calf is being utterly cute!

Oh my goodness, this is so lovely! The new baby is really playful. A42 is a wonderful mother. Thank you so much for capturing this!

The mother's Name is A42? Why?

@@alemanhaforadarota late reply, but that is how wild orcas are individually identified. each pod is assigned a letter (in this case, this is the A pod), and each orca in said pod is named with a number telling the order in which they have been identified. so that way we can tell A42 belongs to the A pod, and is the 42nd orca identified in that pod. sometimes they also have little nicknames; I'm pretty sure A42's nickname is Sonora

I wonder what the whales would have done if you started doing cartwheels on beach or lunges like a reverse Sea world show? Beautiful video 🐳

Do they rub their bodies on the rocks for massage? Parasite elimination? They're such beautiful and intelligent creatures!💕🐬💕

It’s a cultural practice of the Northern Residents- massage, play, tactile sensation. Their skin is extraordinarily sensitive, much like ours. Not all orca populations do this, it’s unique to the Northern Residents!

Hi Bruce, we lived near there for years and also watched this behaviour each winter. Older lady who lived there for decades said this was common back in the day. Thanks for sharing, may I post to Twitter? LE

A few folks on this stretch of beach have commented on seeing this behaviour before - so lucky I was home this morning! Share all you'd like! B
