Waiting by Tony Via Flickr: With a police car stopping the traffic, I first thought that there had been a accident on the small road. It turned out that we all had to wait while five very large wind turbine blades made their way along the road. The Red Lorry ahead facing was the first of five in the convoy. The blades are made in Denmark and delivered to Kyle in Scotland by boat, then to the wind farm further along the road where I have just driven past.

The A24s 2017: Status

At eighteen years of age Magin(A71) is nearly a full mature male; his dorsal is at about the height and size it will remain for the rest of his life baring severe injury or collapse. Toba(A78)’s dorsal started sprouting last year. A110, now two years old, has a nonscientific name, chosen from among the various names of coastal British Columbia landmarks and geography.

Their niece Springer(A73) was spotted with a new calf born in the early part this year along with her first offspring born in 2013. She is a healthy whale and producing robust offspring; by all standards her rescue and rehabilitation back in 2002 is a success.

There were few confirmed sightings of the A24s, they mainly traversed the waters between the tip of the southeastern Alaskan panhandle and central British Columbian coast. 

The listed ages of each A24 orca are estimates.

Schooner(A64) -  22 years old, adult female, matriarch, mother of two offspring

Kanish(A89) - 9 years old, juvenile, offspring of Schooner(A64)

Barkley(A110) - 2 year old male calf, offspring of Schooner(A64)

Magin(A71) - 18 years old, adult male

Toba(A78) - 14 years old, juvenile maturing male

Mystery(A94) - 8 years old, juvenile male

How was it?

I’ll show you some clips I was able to take in between ^_^ they’re so down to earth and the whole show is an unforgettable experience

What is Kanish’s sex?

As of 2017 Kanish(A89) has the only unknown sex of the A24s. Until maturity occurs in a few years there is only one way to know for certain the sex; either Kanish could breach or do some other action that would reveal his/her underbelly.

Recent observations with drones suggest that there is sexual dimorphism even at young ages, but such images would provide an educated guess at this point rather than certainty.

Is A78s gender known?

Toba(A78) is male; his dorsal started sprouting noticeably last year. Right now only Kanish(A89) has an unknown sex (and Springer(A73)’s offspring).
