Tahlequah the Orca Mourns Another Calf….

Recommended Posts

Tahlequah the Orca made famous in 2018 (maybe 2017) for keeping her dead calf afloat for 17 days is in mourning again. Observers of Tahlequa or J35 have said her newborn calf was looking unwell days before it died. She has been seen, once again, keeping her dead calf afloat, which appears to be a mourning ritual for J35

humans REALLY should start listening to the other animals. 

I'm all for being more compassionate towards one another, but uh, if you're suggesting....

wearing each other upon passing, I think there's certain laws against that.

Wouldn't be a bad idea though if a zombie apocalypse were to happen. Worked pretty well for The Whisperers from The Walking Dead... for a while. Maybe the orcas sense one coming. :LithiumSmileySurprised: Better get the bunker ready.

If there are zombie orcas, that would imply they'd be able to enter fresh water, and possibly waddle across land due to being undead.

I don't think any bunker or Diety could protect you from zombie Orcas

Killing all the predators in an area is poor conservation, end of story. Without a natural balance, herbivores like moose and deer overpopulate their areas and then starve out or get diseases like ticks and mange that love a crowded environment to hop around in. And ticky/mangey animals are not food animals for people so that ruins that as well.

for trophy. 

mother earth is going to be really pissed about this. 

When Roosevelt created the National Parks concept I doubt he wanted drilling and grossly unfair hunting practices done within them

no, he did not. 

it's the very reason he created them in the 1st place. 

and he was an avid hunter, and he respected nature. 

I personally am not into hunting but most avid hunters are also conservationists. They want the animals plentiful and healthy so they can hunt them. Not drive them to extinction.

State Parks are supposed to be havens for wildlife with natural ecosystems. It’s supposed to be watched carefully by humans. Not the shit that’s going on in Alaska 

i am honestly very scared for our environment. *pretty print interruption*, seeing some of the policies already taking affect.

Trump is going to allow drilling all over the state of Alaska.
