Orca Day

Although being the apex predator in the oceans, the thing about Orcas I like is their black and white appearance. I once watched a video of a diver who was offered by an Orca, a dead Manta Ray, because it felt that the diver was part of their gang. It was quite a kind gesture from a killer whale to a human. Makes you think, not all is bad in the worst person, and not all is good in a nice person.

For #WorldOrcaDay here are 2 examples of #orca (aka killer whale) headdresses from the Northwest Coast that the dancer could animate with moving parts:

1. Haida - “dancer could roll its eyes or move lower jaw” Carnegie Museum of Natural History

2. Kwakiutl - “dancer pulled strings to make the pectoral fins, tail flukes & jaw move” Field Museum

@kingoftheocean YOU SAVED MY DAY WITH THIS POST/KIM Happy #WorldOrcaDay! This day is to celebrate these amazing animals and to conserve them. While we celebrate these animals we also have to take into account that the Southern Resident Killer Whales are dying. How can you help? 1. Orcas are sensitive to noise and disturbance from boats. Instead of approaching them in your own vessel, spend a day watching them from a responsibly-managed whale watching vessel. Or watch for them from land with help from the Whale Trail. 2. Engage in citizen science by alerting researchers at the Orca Network or the Salish Sea Hydrophone Network when you spot orcas so scientists can track their travel. 3. Get involved in efforts to protect and restore salmon habitat in your community and in watersheds across the Georgia Basin and Puget Sound. Chinook salmon are especially important to orca populations in the Salish Sea. 4. Do your part to dispose of unused medicine and chemicals properly. 5. Never dump into household toilets and sinks or outside where they can get into ditches or storm drains. See if your community has a household hazardous waste collection facility that will take your old or unused chemicals. - Photographer: unknown Caption: @cetacean.inspiration #animalrights #anticap #blackfish #beneaththesurface #boycottseaworld #captivitykills #deathatseaworld #dontbuyaticket #emptythetanks #keiko #killerwhales #loroparque #marineland #marinelandantibess #marinelandcanada #oneocean #orcas #procap #seaworld #seaworldcares #shamu #thanksbutnotanks #thecove #tilikum #nofishnoblackfish #conservation

Don't Go. Please, don't patronize ANY captive cetacean businesses. Captivity is wrong for these highly intelligent mammals. They're killing them in captivity. Breaking their awesome, higjly sophisticated family bonds 😔😢 @seaworldsd @seaworldorland EMPTY THE FECKING TANKS, you sick, greedy, lying bastards! #dontbuyaticket #seaworldSUCKS #captivityKILLS #releasethemtoseapens #murderers #worldorcaday #worldorcaday2016 #orcas #dolphins #whales #porpoises ✌❤🐳♥💙♥🍀

It’s #WorldOrcaDay! Orcas are found in all oceans and are highly special social creatures who live in pods, sometimes for their entire lives. Orcas swim an average of 100 miles a day and dive as deep as 200 feet. Well, the wild ones do. Captive orcas like those at Sea World are kept in tanks that are, to them, the size of a bathtub. Not only that, but wild orcas live to be between 80 and 100 years old. The average age of death for SeaWorld’s orcas is 13. You can help the plight of captive orcas by spreading the word and boycotting marine parks that force orcas to live miserably in tiny tanks.
