FIRST EVER WHITE BEAK DOLPHINS AND THERE WERE SO MANY AAHHHH 🐬

Ran into a neighbour this morning who said that we HAD to read this @TelegraphNews article about orca - didn’t think we’d be in the article! Pretty surreal seeing our names in print @juliet_maxted @CetaceanBoy!

Holidays in the Anthropocene

‼️TW: Graphic Imagery ‼️ Stole this vid of an orca predating on a whale shark off of fb 🔗👇 They are displaying v similar behaviour to Port and Starboard, but in the Sea of Cortez. It seems the first orca is distracting the WS while the second removes the liver! Fascinating.

🎵🚨 Well, I’m hot blooded, check it and see…🎵🚨 Despite always been known as being cold blooded, basking sharks are actually regionally endothermic like their close relatives great whites! 🔥🦈🔥 Check out my second PhD chapter here: doi.org/10.3354/esr012…

@MrGuyKelly @TelegraphMag A fab article, thanks Guy!

I'm sure you've heard: the orcas are up to something. But then, orcas are always up to something. I wrote about these baffling giants – and Britain's mysterious, imperilled resident pod – for this weekend's @TelegraphMag. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07/1…

A lovely article by @Telegraph’s @MrGuyKelly featuring some very insightful words by @CetaceanBoy & @juliet_maxted…and me saying “orcas are crazy”. Seems apt! Big thanks to Guy who spent many hours listening to us blabber on…take a read👇

Hey #FishTwitter! Looking to Fyne-d the owner of this acoustic receiver deployed in Loch Fyne (Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) Got a local sailer who has found it ashore! Can anyone reach out if you know who it belongs to? @AquaticTracking @nature_scot @Innovasea #Fyne13

This is your periodic reminder that @TheAtlantic is trash. #TeamOrca

Literally nothing better than sitting on a cliff at 5:15am looking for orca on the Caithness coast. Everyone 🤞 for the 27s

An incredible week on @SeaWatchersUK’s #orcawatch with the nicest people! Cracking sp list inc humpback whale, harbour porpoise, risso dolphins & orca! As well as incredible abundance of seabirds. Still trying to process it all! There was a fin whale out their too! Blog to follow

Now THIS is what #OrcaWatch is about!! Nothing quite like watching someone you love (@juliet_maxted) seeing a magnificent animal (orca!!) for the first time 🥺 #OrcaWatch23 🖤🤍🐬🐋

FIN WHALE AND HUMPBACK WHAT IS LIFE ❤️❤️❤️
