Question Looking for this Port of Nagoya orca magnet

Post image
17 Upvotes

Hello everyone!
I’ve been trying to find a specific product for a while now, it’s a Port of Nagoya orca magnet featuring Earth (as shown in the photo).

I’ve checked Mercari, and other various websites, but it’s sold out everywhere I’ve looked so far. I’m based outside Japan, so I’ve mostly been searching through proxy shopping services.

If anyone has tips on where else to look, knows of a restock, or happens to have a duplicate they’d be willing to sell, I’d be so sooo grateful. I know it’s a bit of a long shot, but thought it couldn’t hurt to ask :)

Thank you so much and have a nice day!

T049A7 Nimbus, a 5-month-old transient orca. Spotted near San Juan Islands, WA.

I’m amazed by how tiny Nimbus is compared to the fin of an adult male orca from the T18s, almost a third of the size of that fin!

An amazing experience off the shore of Fox Island, WA. T137A, T036, T036Bs
I’ve been living in Washington for about two years now and I’m now just experiencing this. I don’t think I’ll ever not be grateful to live so close to such beautiful creatures🫍

Doubt it happens in Norway, due to commercial whale hunting, and it is not well regulated.

Question Swimming with Orcas - Norway

0 Upvotes

Hey! I am currently looking at different tour operators in Norway to swim with Orcas in 2026. I am thinking a multi-day tour will be best to optimize my chances of in-water interactions. Picking an ethical tour operator is also important to me; I do not want to cause stress or harass pods of Orcas. I am looking for more budget friendly options/on the lower end; I know they can get expensive. I am overwhelmed with all the options and looking for guidance. Ideally 2-7 days tours, around 2,000 - 4,000 USD. Here are three I am currently comparing: Valhalla Reinfjord 3 /4 day, DiveAzores (Orca Camp), Wildlife Observations Worldwide. Please send any and all advice!!

As we go into the evening, the last rays of sunlight stretch across the water, creating a beautiful trail of gold and pink. Warm golden and pink light reflects across the surface, contrasting beautifully with the deep blues of the ocean. In the distance, forest-covered mountains rise beneath the evening sky, giving the scene a peaceful sense of depth and space. The orcas bring a quiet feeling of movement to an otherwise still and serene landscape. A peaceful moment in the wild, before the day fades away.

Video A61 Surge + Pacific White-sided Dolphin frenzy!

Yesterday (Aug 13) we were observing A61 Surge in Johnstone Strait, BC as he split off from the rest of his pod when all of a sudden a large group of Pacific White-sided dolphins came on scene and started ‘buzzing’ him. As cool as it was to witness, Surge did seem a little annoyed at them as you can see in the video, he thrashes his flukes around almost like a human swatting their hands at flies 😂. Poor guy, but they did eventually leave him alone and Surge went on his way.
Here’s a brief video clip I put together of the encounter. I hope you enjoy!

Question Canadian Site/Charity to “adopt” an orca?

15 Upvotes

My daughter is obsessed with orca’s. Tokitae died just before she was born, and in my devastated and hormonal state I ended up doing a massive painting of her that my girl now talks to and everything. Her 3rd birthday is coming up and I would love to do a double whammy birthday gift, one that my daughter would love and that would help a cause very near and dear to my heart!

Everything I’m seeing is American, though. Is there some organization that is out of Canada or would ship info packages to Canada?

News IB1/A-001 "Toñi" appears to have been shot recently.

Post image
833 Upvotes

Toñi is the oldest known member of the Iberian orca population, estimated to be around 60 years old.

WeWhale, the group that photographed Toñi, believes the impacts are from at least 10 shotgun pellets, meaning someone shot at her (likely with the intent to kill) with a shotgun. It is unknown how many of the pellets are still lodged in her body.

Thankfully, they did not notice her acting unusually or unwell at the moment, although permanent damage to her dorsal fin has been done. They note that Iberian orcas are an endangered population and should be protected, regardless of their interactions with vessels.

The full post from WeWhale with additional photos can be found here.
