Vancouver Island,First Nation,Killer Whale

A Vancouver Island First Nation expresses concern for an orphaned killer whale that has been adopted by the community, but remains hopeful for a rescue. The young orca calf, named Brave Little Hunter, was left stranded after its mother died on a rocky beach. Despite the ordeal, the calf is showing signs of energy and resilience.

ZEBALLOS, B.C. — A Vancouver Island First Nation that has adopted a young killer whale as its newest family member says concern rises about its ordeal with each day that passes, but strong hope for a rescue remains.

The First Nation named the two-year-old orca kwiisahi?is, or Brave Little Hunter, after it ventured into a tidal lagoon off northwest Vancouver Island with its mother last month, but tragedy resulted when the pregnant mother killer whale became stranded on a rocky beach at low tide and died. The First Nation says it is receiving dozens of calls from people offering best wishes, asking to volunteer and providing advice in the quest to rescue the young orca, which could occur this week.
