Hello! If you've clicked on the link and come to this page, I'm assuming you've adopted an orca. If so, I need your help! If you've adopted an orca from the Killer Whale Adoption Program, through which you can adopt Northern Residents and transients; or from the Whale Museum, through which you can adopt any Southern Resident, please scan in the photos that you received and send them to me! You will, of course, be credited and I can link back to your site, if you have one. These photos will be very helpful in making the database, as they are more up to date and much better quality than the ID books. Also, any extra information (such as the origin of their name, or other tidbits of info) would be greatly appreciated!
If you can send me any of this, email me at tsitika30@gmail.com
Northern/Transient
Have you adopted a northern resident/transient from the Vancouver Aquarium? Then you got the nice glossy ID photo and the name origin, as well as some interesting family history (trust me on this, I have a whole pod!). The ID photos, even if they aren't of whales born after the ID book, are much better quality and would be so appreciated! An example (of Blackney/A38) is below:
Southern
Or have you adopted a southern resident from the Whale Museum? These adoptions are really nice because you get a (non-ID) photo of your whale, a very detailed history and a family chart (yeah, I've adopted from them too). These photos would make me happy :) and any interesting information from the biographies would be fantastic! An example of a southern adoption photo (of Kasatka/L82, supplied by Orky on In the Orca's Wake) is below:
