New #research aims to bring underwater noise’s true impact on killer whales into focus.
Extended periods of time at sea are necessary to collect the data that will bring us closer to understanding – and protecting – killer whales.

Our #cetacean #scientists are preparing for an ambitious 2026 field season aboard Raincoast’s Sailing Vessel Achiever. #RaincoastConservationFoundation has joined forces with #EarthSpeciesProject , a #nonprofit research lab using machine learning to advance our understanding of #AnimalCommunication. At the heart of this project is a deceptively simple idea: to watch and listen at the same time. The team aims to uncover how killer whales use sound to coordinate movements, share prey, and maintain social bonds – to ultimately understand and mitigate how noise pollution interferes with these processes.

Lol. So I put some Squishmallows on my Xmas wish list, but didn't pay attention to the sizings. Well, my mate got me the blue whale, and, um, yeah, we both got a surprise when we unboxed him 🤣 My emotional support Cthulhu is shown for scale🎄🐳 #Squishmallow #MarineLife #Whale #Cetacean #Xmas

Another oc! A beluga whale !
I tried to paint a simpler/more plain armor design this time around, was surprisingly pleased with the result !

#Scientists capture first-ever footage of killer #whales making #seaweed #grooming 'tools'
#KillerWhales have been filmed making and then using what is thought to be the #cetacean equivalent of a pumice stone. Reported in Current Biology, this is the first time that a #marinemammal has been seen creating a grooming-related tool and then using it with another individual.

There were two of us to watch a moment in the lives of various animals brought together by an unspecified series of incidents, and a part of their journey in a familiar, strange world.

Sound design, animal behavior, and details are phenomenal; cat sounds, capybara chill, lemur upright.

Las marsopas comunes (Phocoena phocoena) macho siempre copulan con las hembras por la izquierda. Tanto machos como hembras han desarrollado los penes y vaginas más largos en relación con su tamaño. Además, las curvas del pene se adaptan a los pliegues de la vagina.📷Anne Hilborn #cetaceos #cetacean #pene #penis

Fursona: Chrysanthos

Drawn by Tokuya.

Name: Chrysanthos
Age: 30-something
Gender: They/Them (Masc/Intersex/Femme)
Species: Uplifted Hourglass Dolphin
Concept: Time-traveller dolphin, uses advanced tech from the future, assured expert in chaos management.

Chrysanthos is an anthropomorphic hourglass dolphin. They are non-binary but typically masc in appearance with slightly softer features and wider hips. Recently they have taken to new training regiments that in conjunction with some biotech enhancements has added more muscle mass and definition than is typical. The enhancements have also provided Chrysanthos with drug-glands and a kind of "sex switch" that has allowed them to explore new modes of being.

Highly intelligent, though not always wise. Chrysanthos is smart enough to get into things but not always to get out of them. Relies on luck and even charm more than cunning despite what they tell themselves. In fact there has been more than a few "thembo moments" that has led to escalations which could have been avoided.

Hailing the city of Atlantis which has been thrown outside of space and time. Chrysanthos works for an organization called the Ab Aeterno (From Forever). There they are tasked with travelling through time and performing certain actions and interventions on behalf of Ab Aeterno. They believe this is to maintain a given timeline, or certain events required, though much is left unknown to Chrysanthos and other agents.

Most of the denizens of Atlantis are either other cetaceans, both smaller and those more physically imposing than Chrysanthos. For this reason most encounters Chrysanthos has with other species is via those excursions outside of Atlantis.

Being from an advanced civilization, Chrysanthos has access to technology that borders on magical. Two common examples include:

Adjunct, a bracelet or watch-like copper-like device that is in effect a souped up "smart watch" able to communicate across space and time. It can summon tiny robotic workers that nanofabricate almost anything non-orichalcum based.

Halo, an orichalcum "hairband" that is worn a little like a crown for cetaceans. It can quickly create a fully-sealed body suit over the wearer and provides limited power-suit level support.
