The large male orca Funky Monkey has a very large but distinctly wiggly dorsal fin.
Visitors and residents at Omaha and Whangateau had the most amazing encounter with a pod of orca on New Years day. But the day also had a special difference, with an air of deja-vu.
Omaha boat ramp users may recognize Amadis, a 40-foot yacht moored off the Omaha boat ramp, with a distinctive graphic of a hammerhead shark on the bow. Amadis is owned by Lily Kozmian-Ledward, a Masters student at the Leigh Marine Laboratory studying Bryde’s whales and other marine megafauna in the Hauraki Gulf.
Lily’s yacht Amadis has a distinctive hammerhead shark drawing on the bow.
