Good pics Marv. Thanks. They look like orcas to me, but I'm by no means an expert on whales, porpoises, or anything else for that matter.

WHHHHAAAAALLLLE!!"

Sprouting Orca
Thanks again Marv for another great picture. This is of a juvenile male and he seems to have started to sprout...as opposed to spout....which could,
actually go hand in hand or flipper in flipper for that matter...Tee! Hee! Because at about seven years of age the males become sexually active and when this takes place their dorsal fin starts to grow
straight up (or "sprouts" as it is referred to) rather than staying curved to the back like the females. Hmmmmm? Let the games begin.  
The "porpoise" of this whole thread was to enjoy Marv's terrific pictures of these beautiful creatures. The debate that has come about has been fun
and educating. But it could likely be easily ended when you just consider what Marv said in the beginning... these guys were 12-15
feet long!!! Now if there are any Dall's porpoise this long anywhere in the ocean I'm sure there are some Mexican Itchthyologists out there
that would be very interested to hear about it. Hee! Hee!

Marv,
Thank you for the great pictures. I can't wait to put my panga back in the water in October. (I bought the Cop Out from Octavio last April, just
before I left).

Many moons ago we saw Orcas in Bahia. Watched them do a good job at taking out a whale shark down around Rincon.
Great photos, thanks for sharing them.

You mean, like they attacked and feasted on a whale shark? Wow, that would be amazing. I wasn't aware the animal was in the orcas' diet?
