My newest "adopted" orca "Cookie"


I just adopted another orca named "Cookie", and I'm probably going to adopt his mother "Oreo" and brother "Doublestuff" soon.

This is the adoption certificate I received from the Whale Museum.

Rare Pink Dolphin found in Louisiana








The result of albinism(I think I spelled that word right?)
The dolphin recently spotted in Louisiana is very pink with red eyes and appears to be healthy. Read more on this dolphin by clicking the link on the right.



"Orca" (poem written by me)

"Orcas, killer whales, wolves of the
sea. Black and white beauties so
graceful and free.

One of God's creations, their life spent
in water. They're a family, a pod, fathers,
mothers, sons and daughters.

Swimming together night and day,
enjoying some playtime and hunting
for prey.

They need to be free from the day they are
born. Don't capture and teach them tricks to
perform.

They're wild animals and should be left alone.
To be with their families swimming into the
unknown.

White Orca


White Orcas are rare and hard to find, but last year, one white orca was found with a pod in Alaska and photographed. Here's a photo, and to read more, go to the link on the side bar.

My Adopted Orca


I just adopted an Orca named Ruffles from the Orca Adoption Program.


Here's a brief description of Ruffles and a photo.

"Ruffles is the oldest male in the Southern Resident Community.

The trailing edge of his 6 ft. dorsal fin is very wavy, which is how he got his name. Ruffles is one of the orcas from the movie "Free Willy." He's from JPod and is believed to have been born in 1951.
