Two decades ago on this very podcast, Jeff told the story of an orphaned baby orca named Springer that got separated from its family, forcing volunteers to attempt a daring rescue, rehabilitation and reunification with the whale’s family. Such a thing had never been pulled off before and while hopes were high, orcas in the Pacific Northwest were already stressed and swimming against a variety of man-made currents. Well, twenty years have now passed and Jeff has an inspiring update regarding Springer's fate!
