L118, K20, and K21 Info
I was packing up and came across my old adoption packages for L118 Jade, K20 Spock and K21 Cappuccino and thought others might enjoy to learn more about them. These adoption papers are from 2013/2014 so info is most likely out of date but they share some fun stories especially for Cappuccino, RIP big guy, I miss him so much.

Naming and Reverence of Whales
Why do most people prefer to call a whale T’luk, Springer, or Ruffles rather than their alphanumeric names T046B1B, A73 or J1? The question seems simple, but the answer touches on psychology, memory, language and the ways we relate to each other and non-human animals. As someone who has spent decades studying killer whales, I've always relied on alphanumeric names because they preserve family histories and help us track individuals across generations. Yet, many people struggle to accept names that include numbers for any person or non-human animal they care about. My recent Substack post explores why that is, what names do and whether the way we name whales influences the way we think about or treat them. If you've ever wondered how something as simple as a name can shape our relationships, you may find this interesting.
