- At 2:30 a.m. Friday at high tide, B.C.’s orphaned orca whale calf, Kwee-sa-hay-is or 'Brave Little Hunter,' swam past the sandbar where her mother beached and died, towards Little Espinosa Inlet, and onto Esperanza near Zeballos.
The calf has been stuck in a shallow lagoon since March 23, when she and her mother swam through a narrow channel connected to the ocean.
Global's Kylie Stanton tells us what happens next for the little orca.

Thank you
Right on man … was thinking so much … awesome .. all I can say is good job!
Love this story ❤
Imagine… Mother Nature did what she does, all on her own lol
She would've starved to death if it was up to mother nature. People were feeding her
Orcas (also known as killer whales) are indeed dolphins. They are the largest members of the dolphin family (Delphinidae) and are closely related to porpoises. While they are often referred to as “killer whales,” this name is a misnomer, as they are not actually whales, but rather dolphins
they are however really good at killing; they exist on every ocean, which means that they are probably the most effective predator on the planet - never mind being highly intelligent and capable of teamwork, they are the dominant rulers of one entire realm of the earth; no other animal comes close to that claim. 25 feet long, 3 tons or more and they can jump 10 feet clear of the water just as easily as Flipper, chasing Flipper at 40 miles an hour, and they have a lifespan similar to humans . . . . they are truly amazing creatures
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 People are animals too lol
And they hunt and eat dolphins
Not a misnomer, just people don't understand it's origin......it is a whale killer or "killer of whales", and not a killer whale
@@tbprofile1295 Guess you never heard of Flipper
Hurray.. Now i just hope theres no hunting of these beautiful creatures..
THANK THE GODDESS!!!
Orcas life span and maturity are fairly similar to human standards, so does this mean the Orca calf is essentially a 2 year old child, lost, alone, with no one to care for it like if a 2 year old human child would be in the same situation?
Oh I’m so happy that she did it on her own!!! I believe she mourned her mother and knew it was her time to leave and find the rest of her family. So proud of her 💜
Swim free beautiful 🙏
Weeks of nothing but waste of time and money. The calf just didn't want to leave it's morher. They are smart. Unlike the pople around the calf.
❤
It wasn’t “trapped” if it eventually swam out on its own. Another non-story.
Yet here you are making comments on a non-story.......how pointless of you
Why did Global News join in on reporting this story to make it into an indigenous "rescue" mission? After all of the "rescue" efforts that failed, the little whale left that lagoon without anyone's help. Couldn't find any stories about a cat needing to be rescued from a tree or telephone pole by the local fire department or telephone linesman? This one dragged on for weeks!
Useless DFO and organizers
Good job caretakers !!! :D
I'm happy the whale got out. But all the people in this video have something about them that really creeps me out.
You mean like the whole selfie thing?
Gitchi Miigwetch to all.
🎶🎶The sun will come out tomorrow bet your bottom dollars that tomorrow there'll be sun🎶🎶😉😉😘😘🤞🤞
How many millions blown ?
Likely nowhere near even a quarter million, that's being generous.
Not enough because one intelligent individuell who had a child to show the world died.
Still waiting for people to give you money eh?
What are the odds she will survive. Satellite tracker anyone ?We put them on all manner of sea creatures. Why not her?
She's young and under a stressful situation as it was. She's smart and already evaded the attempt to put her in a sling. They didn't want to risk adding to her stress by tagging her.
✨🙏✨🥹👐💗
😂do not let it adapt and steal our food supply..
It is our direct competitor and we need the ocean fish more..
Nature tried but like we do best, we failed it!
Now it must live a real rough life trying not to be caught by tuna fishers while trying to feed itself to survive on our fish..
That’s a win for humans 😂😢
So ironic.. 😢
