Humpbacks have made a comeback!
We are excited to welcome back Big Mama, one of the most recognized Humpbacks on the BC coast. Since being spotted in local waters in 1997, She has introduced her babies and grand babies to the Salish Sea. Today her lineage spans more than 20 whales in our area. Swipe to see Big Mama's family tree! She was photographed with her first known calf “Divot” in 2003. Joining Big Mama are many more Humpbacks that feed on small fish and crustaceans. Big Mama is a reminder of how strong our Mother figures can be, wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to Mothers and Mothers alike 💙🐋

This week, for our Fun Fact Friday, we are going to learn a bit more about sea lions.

There are many different species, the ones that you will see on our tours are the Steller Sea Lions and occasionally California Sea Lions. The latter will usually be on the jetty when coming out of Steveston Harbour.

They are very social creatures and each colony can have thousands of members. June is the month when pups are born, you can see a couple at the bottom of the photo. Although they spend some time on land, they are excellent divers and can hold their breath for up to 20 minutes.

There is one body of water on the planet where you cannot find sea lions, and this is the Northern Atlantic. The reason is unknown.

It’s been a while since we have done a Fun Fact Friday but it is back! This one will be about bald eagles. We thought we would give some credit to these beautiful birds.

Their eyesight is 8 times stronger than ours! They can spot small animals about two miles away, their peripheral vision is even better than owls.

Baby eagles reach their full growth at 12 weeks. The feathers on their heads are first dark and transition to white during their first 4-5 years when they reach their adult plumage.

Their speed is probably a lot faster than you imagined. Each specie of eagles has different speeds, the bald eagle can go up to 160km/h when diving!

It is very frequent to see bald eagles during our tours, try and spot them when coming out of the harbour, along the jetty.

We missed a Friday Fun Fact but we are back with one today!

Transient orcas along the entire coast of British Columbia all use a distinctive set of calls, with some additional calls that can be specific to a region. For example, killer whales from BC and killer whales in Norway will use completely different types of calls and sounds (pulsing whistles, clicks and calls).

Transients tend to do calls after successful hunts or when multiple matrilines are present and they are socializing. Otherwise, they tend to be quieter because they are hunting marine mammals and want to be able to sneak up on their prey.

The bump on their head (the melon) is used for echolocation to know if there is prey in the area.

Here we are for another Friday Fun Fact!

Did you know that seals (Photo 2), also known as “earless”, don’t have any external ear flaps? They have little ear holes. They can hear very well above and under the water. Sea lions (Photo 1), on the other hand, have tiny little flaps covering their ears. Seal lions are also a lot louder than seals as they bark.
