Orcas and Dolphins Teaming up to Hunt Salmon

New research published in Scientific Reports says orcas and dolphins have been caught on video collaborating to hunt for salmon. Researchers say dolphins dive deep for salmon and orcas eavesdrop on their echolocation to hunt. The dolphins feed on scrap.

Trick or treat! 💖

The summer Halloween spirit continues - thank you still for your trick or treat ♥ A few days ago I went to visit "The Delphinarium", it's the only marine park in the Netherlands which houses dolphins (and harbour porpoises!). It always makes me happy to be there and see the animals.

It also inspired the latest photo study - this one based off one of my own, featuring Morgan the killer whale! 15 years ago she was rescued and brought to our Dolfinarium to recover.

This was from when I first saw her, two months after her rescue. She had already regained some of her strength but she was still so small and skinny. It is incredible to see how far she has come, living in Loro Parque now with her second calf by her side.

Once again I tried to be stricter with my time; I still ended up doubling it to 40 minutes. I hope you like it!!

A quirk marrige between Fat Absorption and Orcinus? The biggest your mom joke I can think of.

New Quirk Name: Blubber

This Transformation type Quirk allows the user to take on a large form that resembles a mix of a human and whale. The true power of the Quirk comes in the user's layers of fat. These layers are thick and insulated. This makes the user highly resistant to all forms of damage, able to withstand heavy machine gun rounds without taking any damage. This density makes it so their attacks hit with far greater weight as well and can smash bricks without issue. This gives the user a good defensive power, becoming a massive tank for their allies on the battlefield. If nothing else, the extra layers make the user more buoyant and let them swim around easily. Though the usage of this Quirk is based around the user's water weight. Taking too much damage will quickly drain the user of their water supplies, requiring them to regularly hydrate themselves. This leaves them more vulnerable to heat-based attacks with how insulated they are.

Orcinus!!! He's Bernard's uncle who adopted him after his parents death when he was young. He is a very shit father/guardian, but he does love Bernard in his own way. He hates Emerson with a burning passion.
