  • Using a photo of the right side eyepatch our team was able to confirm that T109A3, a 14 year old female Bigg's killer whale was the individual which stranded alive this morning and subsequently drown as the tide came in, despite the heroic efforts of Nuu-chah-nulth and Zeballos residents to roll her back to an upright position. In an effort to remain close to its Mum, her 2 year old T109A3A, navigated the shallows and slipped into the lagoon behind her at high slack where it began to call out repeatedly. It may find its own way out but will likely need some coaxing, as killer whales often do in such situations. Our team has remained on site to document and assist with further efforts by DFO. Any support provided through baycetology.org is much appreciated. Images and video acquired under marine mammal research license #42.
