We love spontaneous moments like this—a triple spyhop! This cuddle puddle involves female members of all three families present in this T-party: T137B, T077 and (with the chin freckles) T036A!

A female Bigg’s killer whale known as Salix (T030C) spyhops to take a quick look around. Her brother and sister were further to the south, so perhaps she was doing a quick scan for them!

10yo Tsakani (T046B1A) spyhops as she and the family spend the day SW of Victoria, occasionally snacking on what we presume were harbour seals or harbour porpoise. We never actually saw prey, but we did see feeding behaviour—several times!

T075C spyhops as she and her family hunt in choppy seas outside Becher Bay, west of Victoria. Sadly, T075C’s younger calf, two-year-old T075C4, went missing earlier this month. When last seen on July 6 it did not look healthy.
