Episode 66 Whale Tales
We were so excited to have Joëlle De Weerdt from Association ELI-S on the podcast with us for episode 66 - her research is truly mind blowing (listen to the ep to hear our minds being blown!) and she has so many incredible humpback encounters.

Patreon Preview: Atlantis The Lost Empire

Episode 65 Fun Flipper Fact 2
We were so happy to have Erin from The Pacific Whale Watch Association on our latest episode not just to talk all things whale watching but to also discuss the hottest topic in the whale world - the proposed speciation on resident and Biggs Killer Whales in the Salish Sea. We get into it and how it may effect the conservation of the orcas off our coast in our second fun flipper fact of the episode.

ICYMI our Patreon Journal Club last month was on the very exciting paper "Revised taxonomy of eastern North Pacific killer whales (Orcinus orca): Bigg’s and resident ecotypes deserve species status" by Morin et al. and after we were done being super excited and gushing, we did have a great discussion about the paper and it's arguments for Bigg's and Residents species status.

Episode 65: Fun Flipper Fact
Our first Fun Flipper Fact from episode 65 is about Bowhead Whales lifespan! There are whales out there who could have in theory met Queen Victoria or Charles Darwin! (if Arctic whales could meet people of history of course...) Which is very random but very cool.
