What it’s like to swim with wild orcas and come out calmer
This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). There’s no time to hesitate when my captain shouts…

While cars get acres of space, orcas are confined to tiny tanks - intelligent, social beings reduced to living in circles for our entertainment. 💔 They deserve oceans, not tanks. 🌊🐋 Clip from peta (IG) #emptythetanks #endcaptivity #orcas

Orcas should not be kept in captivity because they suffer a great deal when they are, as these seven tragic stories illustrate. 💔 Read the full article 👇 https://f.mtr.cool/tlnwiyyief #orcas #whales #emptythetanks

🦖🔬 Oh, look! Another professor with a fancy title and a book to sell thinks he can rewrite the entire evolutionary playbook. Meanwhile, #orcas are branching out like #hipsters with niche diets. Spoiler alert: science is always moving, Kevin, but thanks for the whale facts. 🙄📚

#PlasticPollution is worsened by warming #climate and must be stemmed, researchers warn
Increased #toxicity from plastic #pollution in a warmer climate is highly likely to be affecting whole #ecosystems, with potentially disproportionate impacts on #apexPredators such as #orcashttps://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1106841

Orcas are dolphins—the largest of the family. Strong, social, and inspiring, they remind us of the ocean’s beauty and our duty to protect it. 🌊🐬 #orcas #dolphins #naturefacts #killerwhale #naminghistory #sciencefacts #marinebiology #oceanlife

#Orcas filmed making out in the wild for first time
Footage captures a pair of orcas nibbling each other's tongues in Kvænangen #fjords in #Norway. #Scientists think this rarely seen behavior could play a role in social bonding. This tongue-nibbling behavior has only previously been seen on a handful of occasions in captivity. The action, described as resembling "#kissing" by the #citizenscientists who observed it, may play a role in social bonding, researchers suggest.

There was jubilation in my neighborhood when we saw she had a new baby, and devastation when it died. We feel her grief like a physical pain. Southern Resident orcas are critically endangered, currently numbering only 73.

#Orcas off #BritishColumbia coast have been #critically #endangered for many years & #scientists have found that a lack of #genetic #variability may be why.
A new study out of #WashingtonState - published March 23 on the journal Nature, has found that $inbreeding depression — the reduced #survival & #fertility of offspring that are a product of inbreeding — is preventing the SouthernResident #KillerWhale #population from growing.
