How mother orca Tahlequah and her dead calf tell the story of climate change
Salmon are struggling to survive. So are the families of endangered southern resident orcas, with a population of just 73, not improved in years.

BREAKING: We are heartbroken to share that Kshamenk, Argentina’s last captive orca, held at Mundo Marino, died this morning. After more than 30 years captivity, Kshamenk’s life was marked by isolation and suffering.

Hoy murió Kshamenk, la orca que fue sacada de su hogar el mar, en 1992, para ser exhibida adentro de una pileta indigna.

Kshamenk, lamentamos que solo la muerte haya podido ayudarte a ser libre.

Repudiamos el cautiverio de animales para entretenimiento humano.

Buen viaje, Kshamenk. Perdón.

I captured this scorpionfish in Sogod Bay, Philippines. It was the most colorful scorpionfish I've ever seen. I took it with my Sony RX100 Mark IV, Nauticam housing, and YS-D3 strobe.

"The belugas & other animals at Marineland deserve to live. A legal system that allows them to be killed because it is economically convenient is one that needs to change." — Maneesha Deckha, Professor & Lansdowne Chair in law, University of Victoria
The fate of Marineland’s belugas expose the ethical cracks in Canadian animal law
The threat to kill the belugas as a solution to its economic woes, while shocking, reflects the ethical emptiness of the Canadian legal system when it comes to animals.
