ZEBALLOS, B.C. — A Vancouver Island First Nation that has adopted a young killer whale as its newest family member says concern rises about its ordeal with each day that passes, but strong hope for a rescue remains.
The Ehattesaht First Nation says in a statement people have been listening to the female orca calf's calls on a hydrophone, describing the vocalizations as so filled with longing they"make you almost weep."
The First Nation says the orca calf appears to be holding up quite well, showing signs of energy after being observed breaching out of the lagoon surface for the first time on the weekend and slapping its tail on the water.
