MICHAEL AMOS PHOTOGRAPHY
Marine Mammals
The orca in this photo, named John Coe, can be identified by the very distinctive notch in his dorsal fin. He is a member of the West Coast Community, the UK's only resident pod of orcas. Photographed here off the Isle of Mull in June 2023, he and another male named 'Aquarius' are the last two surviving members of this community, so when these animals pass away, this community of orcas will go extinct forever.
