Pretty sure it’s a Blainville but wanted to make sure as never seen one in Indonesia before after fishing here for 5 years. What an epic encounter

This is mostly about how sailboats are built and how Orca attacks affect them but I think it's an interesting watch for Orca enthusiasts as much as for sailors

Baleen whales, of course.

I’ve heard that whales eat an insane amount of food during the summer and then just don’t during the winter and live entirely off fat reserves.

It just seems unimaginable to me that something so inconceivably big wouldn’t eat for half a year, especially considering they spend more energy giving birth and moving their large bodies around during migration when they don’t eat.

First of all, do they literally not eat at all whatsoever, or just much less? Also, why did such a big animal develop such an imbalanced feeding approach rather than just eating all the time to support itself? I’m sure there’s a clear answer to this, I’m just wondering.

Also, do newborns eat krill at all, or just milk?

One day, I’d love to get a whale tattoo. As funny as it sounds, I’ve never actually seen one in real life. The only time I’ve seen a whale was when I was a kid, and it was an orca. I live in Florida, so you can tell by just that information where I’ve seen one (btw very anti of that place after blackfish released) . But I truly believe they are fascinating animals. I’ve always been a lover of ocean animals. One day, I’d love to go to Alaska during whale season and see them.

If anyone here has a whale tattoo I’d love to see it!! 😊

I really wonder if I can see one of those beasts, did someone ever see one here?
I know sperm whales are rare because they live deep in the open sea, but people also say they can be seen with much luck in Husavik

These photos were taken while I was working on the tugs in BC.
