Thereโ€™s a tiny beach I like to go to, and on that Monday I happened to be there at the right time. I got to see Indy, one of the T65A orcas. Might be a once in a lifetime experience for me!

These two are part of a family group called the 27s, which is itself a member of a larger community. This family is much beloved by Scottish whale-watchers and was even featured in a documentary three years ago! While male orcas never provide care for their own offspring, who are born to members of other pods, they will frequently provide what is known as alloparental care to the offspring of their sisters, mothers, and maternal cousins. Footage by Northern Dronescapes.
