L12's near False Bay during 10.00am tour, June 18th, 2007



Seals at Chain Islands

L25 "Ocean Sun" born 1924






L41 "Mega"


During our 10am trip aboard Fastcat today we caught up with members of the L12 sub pod near False Bay. The animals were spread out and moving south as we arrived on scene but did change direction and headed North about half way through our trip.

We got to see L41 "Mega", his siblings L94 "Calypso" & L77 "Matia" as well as their Aunt L25 "Ocean Sun". Orcas form a close bond with their family members.

On the way home we stopped in at the Chain Islands and got to see many Harbour Seals as well as Cormorants.

N.B. Please note all photos are taken with a zoom lens and appear closer than they are.
