Had the incredible luck of seeing T063 “Chainsaw”, one of the most recognizable Bigg’s killer whales in the Salish Sea, this season 🖤
His jagged dorsal fin — the feature that earned him his name — is likely the result of an old injury, possibly from his younger years. Born around 1978, Chainsaw is one of the oldest known male Bigg’s orcas still thriving today. Watching him cut through the water with that unmistakable fin was UNREAL, especially after following his story for sooooo long, it was like meeting a celeb 😂
