Delete if not allowed but I didn’t know Winston was apart of the infamous pen cove captures of 1970’s I thought he was caught earlier then that so there likelihood that him and toki where related to one another which would mean that Kalina and her offspring and her descendants are possibly related to her the more you know I find it interesting a lot them also do resemble southern residents in my opinion and keto looked so much like his grandfather obviously the more you go down Kalina bloodline the less and less they look southern resident in my opinion but the fact that toki might’ve had some distinct relatives has me feeling some sort of way

Aside from Katerina and makaio I kinda curious about kalina relationships with her brother and her little sister niece are there any report / regular commentary on them ik Kalina relationship changed when she arrived at seaworld Orlando again but im just curious . Maybe a dumb question there actually lot of orca relationships. I’m curious about but i figured I’d come here lol

Can we all just admit that tawnypelt design is so fucking peak it reminds me of my own tawnypelt design ( I’m not saying mine is peak I like it but it’s not as peak tbh ) but reverse

I know some these ladies aren’t matriarches before you come for my neck but they have or do filled in more dominant roles so I figured I’d add them

I’m curious who do you think are the best matriarches throughout captive faclities throughout the worlds

There a few names for who I think

But top 4 I’ll say in order

4. Kalia

3.Takara

2. Katina

1.kasatka

Honorable mentions goes to orkid and shouka

Kasatka was a great mom to all her babies was one of the few orcas to help her daughters raise their calves . Protected corky from Ulises ( as well as orkid ). Seemed to be pretty welcoming of new whales fork what I’ve read. Very sweet whale but had an iron fist when she needed to .

Katina I only docked her down slightly cause as far as I’m aware I don’t think she helped any of her daughter raise their babies and no fault of her own btw but she is still for the most part was a great mom to her babies . I think she and Kalina if my memory is correct helped taima rear Malia . Had a bit more of an iron fist unlike kasatka except towards taima since they shared the role but would also reportedly show submissive behaviors toward taima.

Takara and kalia ( imma just lump the two sisters together cause why not ) had even more of a iron fist since they where the princesses of San Diego at some point in their lives I’ve actually seen Kalia

Before and compare to her older sister I feel like she’s slightly calmer then her sister was she will still put grown males in their place but overall she seems calmer then some of the other matriarches or maybe that’s the vibe I got from her when I saw her . Meanwhile takara when she got to Texas ran a strict program and made sure all of the other 3 whales fell in line even Kyuquot.

I’m located in nj

I’m very interested in dwarf rats as I’ve heard they live slightly longer and they are less likely to get mammary gland tumors as I’m interested in females rats

In also interested in hairless but I’m not to picky point of this is that I’m trying to look for a rattery close to me and breeders I can talk to I’m willing to travel to NYC and PA and I’m thinking of getting my rats August or September thanks

I got two I tied between the transient and the Argentina poplaution if I was a orca I’d be a transient I’m not as social or as loud as a lot of people and I don’t like to be around a lot of people maybe between 1- 4 people at best I don’t do great in large groups I know the transient have their t parties which is always great. I also think its fascinating that these dolphins are taking on such large Walden several times their size their hunting strategy fascinates me same goes for the Argentinian orcas I find the fact that they haul on land to grab sea lions is very badass .

Finished brightheart and cloudtail

I decided to draw them as elders cause why not still in love after all these years

Anyways I hope you like brightheart is always fun to draw.

I got bored so we I’m making brightheart

A long time fan but I got dogs haha Hera the hairless girl and Strelka the black and tan girl

Has the boys and girls been separated again I have they been able to interact again specifically Orlando

Also I know it’s been awhile since kamea passed but does any one think or know if they will place the boy and girls in San antanio Together? I think I’d be good for them ( just my opinion ) but I’m not from Texas nor do work or see these animals
