Thanks! that is really cool. On FB, I belong to about a dozen pro-cetacean conservation/anti-captivity groups that share any news/stories having to do with dolphins and orcas (well, orcas are technically dolphins, but you know what I mean).
Sadly, Russia is allowing a certain number of wild orcas from their waters to be caught for the display industry, and if any of these evil d*ck-heads find this orca, he/she is doomed for a miserable life in captivity. Especially this little one they just spotted, as it's a juvenile.
Did you know that there was once a partially white (Albino) orca held in captivity back in the 70's? Her name was Chimo and she was kept at Sealand in Victoria B.C. (the same aquarium that originally kept Tillikum, where he and the other orcas were responsible for killing a trainer). Sadly, and predictably, she didn't live very long. On you tube, search albino orca, or Chimo and you can find some pretty cool videos of her. It was pretty interesting, she was caught along with several of her pod-mates, and they all had some kind of physical abnormality; her being white, and there was one with a really large chin (he ended up at the now defunct marine park that used to be in Galveston) one with a pointy nose, one with a bunch of scars. Possibly they were all rejects that left their own families and made their own.
