Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

It's the #TwelveDaysOfWhalemas Day Four! Did you know that SRKWs all have distinct vocal patterns, as do all Orca populations? Each pod (J, K, L) sounds a little bit different from the other & it has been thought that these differences help individuals avoid inbreeding within their pod. #WhaleTales

A wonderful organization! They rescue elephants especially, but also any other wildlife in need. Their goal is to release if it's possible, but Maxwell here has a forever home. 🐘🦏🐘
