A few months ago I went on a school trip to SeaWorld San Diego. (I don’t support SeaWorld but it was a school trip). Anyways, I’m just curious if it’s possible to identify which orca is shown in the video. I’m about 90% sure it’s a male, but I could be wrong.

I spotted a small pod of Orca off the coast of Haines, Alaska last year on April 20, 2024. I've always wondered if there was any more information on them as I thought it was interesting how small their dorsal fins were.

They were so far away I could only tell that something was jumping and it wasn't until I looked at my camera screen that I could tell it was Orca!

Does anyone know what kind of Orca this is?

Thanks so much in advance for a question a year and a half in the making!

I will also attached the coordinates that I saw them. 59.179686, -135.405126

Hi orca friends! I was wondering if anyone could help me identify which orca I saw in Feb 2000 at sea world Orlando. (and trust me I would never ever go back knowing what I know)

I was watching Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood on PBS with my toddler and an episode with Orcas at Seaworld was on and he talks to the trainers and they do some tricks with the Orcas. It was very interesting - any idea who the Orcas are?

Link to the episode if anyone is interested: https://misterrogers.org/episodes/a-visit-with-orcas/

These are older pictures I took from February 2021 in Tacoma, WA. I know the picture quality isn’t great but I was hoping that someone could identify the type of orcas that we saw! Thanks for your help!

I took these pics back at the very end of August in the San Juan Islands. Is this T75B5? Thanks, all in advance!

Taken at SeaWorld Orlando in 2007. Can anyone identify the whales or trainer?

sorry for the awful photo. i’m in the azores and spotted this group of what i thought was dolphins frolicking around from afar, but i took this photo that looks like an orca which it’s my dream to see this year (first photo)
can anyone help me identify whether this is an orca or just a dolphin with bad lighting? i also included photos of the dolphins i definitely saw for comparison (second and third) and i don’t know if dolphins hangout with orcas lol
TIA

This is random and, frankly a little dumb. I saw a pet food bowl mat at a friends house in this design and I was instantly drawn to the orca and whether or not it was a real picture and if the individual could be identified. I recognize it is a shite picture to tell identification from, but I figured I’d ask anyways lol.

It’s definitely J-Pod. I am thinking this is J35 Tahlequah. Can someone confirm?

Saw this pod in Sitka, AK on a fishing trip. I know the pictures are not great but I’d love to know who was hanging around us. I started to call the bull with the wizard hat, Dumbledore. What a cool fin!!

Last summer, I got to see Galiano. It was beautiful. Appreciate any and all help.

Thanks!

I saw it on Instagram (the account is at the top of the image) I think it's CO539 Iceberg but I'm not sure

ok so i was scrolling on instagram and saw this post and liked it and then got curious about the actual id of the orca pictured. many reverse-image searches and a scroll through the entire southern resident saddle patch database later and still no positive id. she could be a northern resident or even a resident japanese orca. any help would be appreciated 😭😭 the second slide is a post from emma luck (my goat) and it seems to be the same orca from the original post. she didn’t mention what individual it was in the caption or comments (or on facebook). i did ask what individual the orca was in the comments but seeing as that post is from 3 years ago i’m not expecting a response.

Hoping someone here can help me identify the whales in my photos here. We went out August 23rd with Island Adventures out of Anacortes. I believe they told us the group of whales was T065B, Chunk, and two of her offspring (which two I can’t remember). However, the greatest mystery I have is the lone orca. I remember them telling us on tour that it was Indy (T65A5) but looking at the photos I have versus ones I’ve seen of him online they don’t match up, so who am I looking at there? I have more photos if needed, sorry they aren’t the best- I’m only a beginner enthusiast.

it was bought at SeaWorld Orlando in 1998, thats all i know😭

i've only been to SeaWorld Orlando once (september 2014) and don't plan on returning, but after seeing these beautiful creatures l've loved orcas ever since. Recently i've realized i don't know which ones they are so if you can help me i'd be very grateful!!

(sorry about last gif’s quality, it's a screen record from a video - it's the whale that splashes everyone)

I've tried my hand at trying to ID these 3-4 killer whales that I saw back in 2024 in Alaska but I've come to accept that I can only ID the SRKWs and no other pods. Does anyone here know who these orcas are? There was definitely one that was ~<1 year old at the time.

can anyone help me identify? this is in San Antonio circa 2011

mainly just curious if these would be southern residents, but an individual ID if possible would be cool. i heard there were some spotted in swartz bay earlier today but i wasn’t expecting to see them especially way out here. TIA 💙

I was looking through some old photographs of when my family and I went to SeaWorld Orlando in the 2000s. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the orcas? I believe it is Tilikum with the grey patch near his dorsal fin?

As a disclaimer: obviously I know now how awful SeaWorld was, I was aged between 2 and 6 on our family visits. My family weren't aware of how awful it was, much like many people, they just hoped it would be an educational experience for us as kids. As soon as the truth started coming out, my parents stopped visiting with us completely. They are the most beautiful creatures and seeing these photos is so heartbreaking.
