orca

289K views · 10K reactions | Take a moment and experience absolute calm with a stunningly beautiful pair of orca, in some of the bluest waters in Baja California Sur, Mexico. There are believed to be around 50 orca total from 3 different pods that tend to stick around this area for most of the year. Orca here love to feed on Mobula Rays and at times, even larger marine mammals.  Franco Fabio, @francofabioh, IG. | Orca Rescues Foundation | Facebook

A pod of wild, Russian orca make their way across Kamchatka Peninsula as a unified group. One male has an extremely tall dorsal fin, while another has one that's completely collapsed. ℹ️ Dorsal fin collapse in wild orca is relatively rare, but is primarily linked to factors such as health (emaciation) or injury due to human causes such as net entanglement and exposure to oil spills. It is thought to be genetic, in a small population of orca in New Zealand. ℹ️ Why is it so common in captive orca?
