Whales for Sponsorship

  • Featured Whale

    Ox

    BCX1452

    Ox was given this name, not only because the tips of his tail reminded us all of an ox, but due to his robust and curious behaviour.

  • Jupiter

    BCY0092

    Jupiter is one of the first whales we see at the start of each season and seems to play a dominant role in large bubble net feeding groups.

  • Ivory

    BCZ0071

    Ivory is an entanglement survivor who was given his name for the brilliant colour of his outstanding tail.

  • Habit

    BCX1225

    Habit is a known mother who returned in 2015 with a significant ship strike injury. Though she has been seen regularly since, she has never had another calf.

  • Cross

    BCY0189

    Cross is a female who arrived with her calf in 2008 who had either been injured by a boat or had scoliosis.

  • Coste

    BCZ0254

    Coste is one of the few whales we have observed bubble net feeding solo and vocalizing at the same time. For us, this is a rare opportunity to derive an acoustic fingerprint on an individual whale.

  • Cheetah

    BCX0427

    Cheetah has always been a very social whale, and she is often sighted in the company of other humpbacks seeking out social companionship or cooperating in bubble net feeding groups.

  • Camaano

    BCX0121

    Caamano is a longstanding member of large bubble net feeding groups and she is often seen traveling with Smiley, another female.

  • Amy

    BCX0711

    Amy is an incredibly social whale that is almost always seen as part of a large bubble net feeding group or with long-term companion humpback whales.

  • Adidas

    BCY0430

    Adidas has been seen every year since 2004; a true resident to this area. Adidas is a social whale, seldom seen alone unless resting.

  • Loner

    BCX0375

    You can imagine how this whale was given her name; yes, she is often seen alone. She was also one of the first whales we observed solo bubble net feeding.

  • Teeth

    BCY0474

    Teeth is a longstanding resident humpback whale to Gitga'at Territory, and one of the most recognizable whales in our research area. Her distinct markings are likely scars from a transient orca attack.

    Cloudy is a seasonal resident humpback whale and has played a vital role in the large bubble net feeding group in our research area for over 20 years.
