“A Chainsaw sighting is a telltale sign of spring,” says Erin Gless, executive director of the Pacific Whale Watch Association. “He’s a local celebrity.”
A famous orca has returned to British Columbia, but that’s not the only good whale news out of the province.
Erin Gless, executive director of the PWWA, says Chainsaw is one of the most recognizable members of the coastal Bigg’s killer whale population. He gets his name from his distinctive jagged dorsal fin, and at age 45, he is considered one of the oldest males in the Bigg’s population. Chainsaw has been frequently documented throughout Alaska, where he is also referred to as Zorro. “I finally met the man, the myth, the legend,” she said.
Malleson says Chainsaw was travelling with T065, known as Whidbey, and T049As, known as Nan, but he was not the only notable whale spotted. Whale experts are thrilled to announce a new calf was spotted in the Juan de Fuca Strait.
