A60 Fife, what a magnificent orca he is. He’s part of the A23 matriline and you can really see the size difference between him and the females or younger males. Such an impressive presence. Watch until the end to see the moment when his head breaks the surface of the water. Absolutely breathtaking. #WildlifeAdventuresNEVI #northernresidents #orca #orcas | Wildlife Adventures, North East Vancouver Island
