Social-media posts have reported sightings of lone, smaller orcas, but there have been no confirmed reports of the orca calf dubbed Brave Little Hunter
Brave Little Hunter, the orphaned orca that escaped a tidal inlet near Zeballos in late April after being trapped there for a month, has not been seen for several weeks.
But a spokeswoman for Fisheries and Oceans Canada said there have been no confirmed sightings of the young orca. Fisheries and Oceans Canada collaborates with a network of researchers, non-governmental organizations and coastal First Nations who send photos of whale sightings for information and analysis, and to identify orcas.
“This is good news,” said Lara Sloan, spokesperson for Fisheries and Oceans Canada. “It means she has moved on, possibly with a Bigg’s pod, or is roaming the coast looking to meet up with a pod.
