POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

An orca calf's transition from an exclusive milk diet to hunting and consuming solid food is a gradual, multi-year developmental process. During the first few months, the calf relies entirely on its mother's milk, which is exceptionally rich in fat and provides primary nutrition early on, but social learning and prey-sharing within the pod drive the shift toward solid foods.

Newborn orcas (like this one) often have visible vertical creases called 'fetal folds'. These form as they develop folded in half inside their mother's uterus to accommodate their large size. Once born, the skin gradually stretches out, and the lines fade completely within a few weeks to months as the calf grows and accumulates subcutaneous blubber.

Canon RF 16-28mm Lens Review for Underwater Photo & Video

We’re always looking for ways to squeeze more out of our underwater photography budget. At under $1000 US, the Canon RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM Lens was a promising candidate for a high quality rectilinear lens.

Professional videographer and expedition leader Jacques de Vos has spent the last year putting this lens through the paces from the Arctic Circle to South Africa. Jacques discusses autofocus speed, low light performance in the icy waters of Norway, detail capture in 4K video, and edge sharpness for photos.
