Description
Trua is a young bull killer whale.
And my personal favourite!
He was born in 2005, and his name means 'Believe' in Icelandic.
I remember seeing this guy as a 7ft long, 300lb calf. All those years ago.
Currently, he is around 18ft long, and weighs in at over 5,500lbs.
However, bulls can often reach lengths of over 25ft, and can weigh in at over 12,000lbs. This lad still has a bit of growing to do, even now!
I had the pleasure of truly meeting this wonderful animal at the start of this year. He was such a happy, playful, and cheeky creature.
Besides, how can you not fall in love with that freckly face?!
Plans are already underway to return again next year. Can't wait!
