Meet the second largest species of dolphin after the orca — pilot whales! Super social like their relatives, they live in matriarchal pods of 10–20, but some pods can have hundreds! Fun fact: their name comes from the idea that they follow a “pilot” when travelling.

A shift to reuse for the World Cup in Canada could prevent 2.3 million single-use items from piling up. This plastic free July, sign the pledge to show your support for bringing reusables to Toronto. act.oceana.org/page/172451/pe…

It's fascinating how some of the ocean’s largest creatures survive on the tiniest prey. North Atlantic right whales, for example, feed almost entirely on krill and copepods. Every summer, they migrate along North America’s East Coast, traveling from the U.S. to Canadian waters.

A walrus’s tusks are actually giant canine teeth — and they can grow up to 3 feet long! 🦷❄️ These impressive tusks help walruses haul out of the water onto the ice, fend off predators, and establish dominance over other walruses. Learn more: oceana.ly/44tg2sk

ICYMI: @Coldplay’s tour is underway in Toronto at Live Nation’s new Rogers Stadium and they’re making it sustainable with free water refill stations and reusable cups. Reuse at this scale keeps thousands of single-use items out of landfills and oceans. 👏👏

Orcas are one of the most iconic species on Canada’s West Coast — and not all are the same. Canada has 5 distinct orca populations, each with unique diets, behaviours, and cultures. ⚠️ The Southern Resident population is endangered, with only 73 individuals left. #WorldOrcaDay

Sea anemones look like flowers but are actually marine animals found from tidal zones to the deepest parts of the ocean. Fun fact: their mouth also functions as an anus! Waste and undigested matter is excreted through this hole.

Jellyfish or sea slug — can you guess? 🤔 It’s a sea slug called a Hooded Nudibranch (Melibe leonina)! Found in BC, these colorful sea slugs are predators that catch their prey (zooplankton, small crustaceans, and tiny fish) using a similar method to that of a Venus flytrap.

Single-use containers may be convenient, but they’re polluting our oceans and piling up in landfills. Reuse systems offer a smarter, low-waste solution. Learn more: oceana.ca/en/blog/reuse-…

Flatfish are true masters of disguise. They bury themselves in sand, leaving only their independently moving eyes visible. Some can even change colour in seconds thanks to special skin cells called chromatophores. Learn more oceana.ca/en/blog/five-f…
