Killer Whale “Fin”

February 9, 2016 Lodge Guide

This is a little more graceful looking than yesterday’s post especially when it is coming toward the boat. The dorsal fin of a male killer whale is proportionately larger than that of a female. In adult males, the dorsal fin is tall and triangular. Reaching a height of up to 1.8 m (6 ft.) in a large adult male, it is the tallest dorsal fin of all cetaceans. And this photo is a good example of a large male.

Grizzly Bear watching and waiting

“Maybe if I just lie here the fish will swim closer and LUNCH?” Could have been a hot day in late August and a good way to cool down. Do not see many fish in the water near this grizzly bear so the “cool down” is a good option. Bear watching is always interesting as their behaviour varies from day to day.
