We took more questions from our instagram followers! Thanks for sending those in to us.

We weighed in on the Orca vs Killer Whale naming debate to get this episode started!

We had a great question about the current status of ship strikes and entanglements for large whales as well.

We also addressed some topics that we get asked frequently about photography and how to best prepare for a whale watch trip. This lead us into a discussion of identifying individual whales, dolphins and even sea lions using photo identification. 

In this episode we talked about how we all got our start in the whale realm. We all currently work in the whale watch industry in Monterey, but none of us started there!

Listen in on how we all ended up in the industry and how we got to Monterey. We hope this episode inspires you to follow your passions too!

We have been loving all your questions and topic suggestions - keep sending them our way. We are also adding to the resource page on the podbean site for y'all to check out as well.

We had more questions from Instagram for this episode! We started things off with your questions about whale lifespans, pilot whales in California and where to watch Killer Whales. Thanks for sending those in! It's super fun to hear your inquiries.

After answering some questions, we chatted about our favorite whale movies and books! We are also building up a resource list on our site so you can access them at anytime. If you have resource suggestions send them our way!

We decided to start things off with questions from you! Thanks for sending in questions through our Instagram story this week! Keep the topic suggestions and questions coming in.

Things started off with our favorite whales and went down the rabbit hole from there! We did a fun lightning round about things we have seen that we thought the other co-hosts had not seen. Animals included: whales, dolphins, beaked whales, sharks, turtles and seabirds.

We had a great question about humpback whale dialects and we elaborated about humpback whale culture and sighting histories. 

We ended things talking about sharks (one of our secret favorites) in California, especially the juvenile white sharks in the central coast.

We hit y'all with some fun vocabulary too! Watch out for those new and exciting words!

As we mentioned at the end of Episode 4 - here are the weird whale facts!

We went through as many lesser known whale facts as we could think of in this episode. We covered narwhal tusks, ambergris, whale lice, barnacles and so much more! This episode was super fun and we definitely have more fun whale facts to talk about in future episode too. 

Have some whale facts you would like us to talk about more? Other topic suggestions? Let us know on instagram! @whalenerds

We went wayyyy back for this one. Slater and Katlyn have been listening to a book about whales but written from a paleontologist's point of view. This inspired us to talk about how whales started as mammals on land and went back to the water. Eric dropped some fossil knowledge on us about where to find marine fossils in California and look at them in museums too.

We also meandered our way through whale bones, vestigial legs and whale evolution. We talked about whale strandings that we have seen on beaches in California. Lastly, we briefly covered some interesting whale adaptations that are on whales that currently exist today.
