In memory of T44

We have received more great photos and links to slide shows and photos of Transient orca T44, who was found dead on Monday. A necropsy has been performed by Dr. John Ford, Dr. Stephen Raverty and others, though no obvious cause of death was immediately apparent. It will be several weeks before results from tests of samples taken during the necropsy are available - we will update you on any further information as it comes in. We have also posted several news stories about T44 on our News Page, which we will continue to update as well.
Thanks to Chantelle and Rachael for sharing these great tributes (see below) in memory of T44 -

Upon second glance through my sets it turns out i have hundreds of t44 images (Ok well just short of 200 :) I am putting together a slide show (click here to view). I didn't realize till now that he is probably my most photographed whale other than J1.
here is one for trial island (pictured here).
