Um... I scanned it from an issue of Natural History. Hence the copyright. I have never seen a better picture of a glacialis, though.

O right! I agree it is stunning! I love how the lower half of her body, below the dorsal fin, is a completely different colour to the rest of her body! Well I think it's a her anyways ... the dorsal fin looks too small and curved to be male I love the pattern behind the dorsal as well!! There seems to be a massive flick of the gray towards the head!!!

My thoughts exactly. Her saddle looks a bit like Kandu 7's, I think

Kandu lives in Marineland Canada, (In Niagra Falls, Ontario) He's my favorite orca and is the longest in captivity (Although Tilikum in SWF is bigger by weight.)

She was from a Vancouver Aquarium. She got sick and they transferred her to SWC, where she eventually died...

Again, no, sorry All my pictures are from Ontario so far, this I found on an google image search. Although someone has painted a copy of that picture, I'm not sure if I have the original or the copy.

I would gladly switch to a pic of one of the MLC orcas.. If I ever take a good picture
