Ho ho ho! Merry Lioden Christmas! I've decided it's the year to give back! My pons and gons have been very kind to me, and I want to host a giveaway for Christmas this year! I'll be giving away my young Leopon, Brillo, on December 26th. Link: https://www.lioden.com/lion.php?id=794228424212 (She is guaranteed to be below 8 years of age at the time the raffle runs. I usually roll my side once per week, sometimes 2-3 times, so she will remain young.) To enter, reply to this post! Talk, chat, yap away! To raffle this girl I'll be randomizing the page number, then the post on the page. The more you chat, the better chance you have! I'm not guaranteeing that there will not be other additional prizes added to the pool, as I've got a stash and just might be pumped to pop more surprise raffle options on, just for grins. As I have hybrids aging out of breeding, I may toss in additional frozen hybrid raffle prizes, as they won't do me any good sitting in my dynasty <3 No payment needed, just chat away! Share family memories, talk about your projects, tell me about your goals, anything! Have a conversation and get to know your fellow liodenners! Spam is not permitted, nor is harassment of the winner! If the winner does not respond in 48 hours, the raffle will generate a new winner! Raffle ends: December 26th If we reach 100 pages, an older hybrid is guaranteed to be added! Other additions to come! 19 players like this post! Like?

Orcas aren't actually monogamous! They don't typically mate for life, although they can form strong bonds to one specific orca. Calves are considered mature around 10 to 14 depending on both gender and what study you're referencing, although they only start mating at around 14. Males normally will mate at a younger age, around the 12 year mark. Raising one's calf is normally managed by the mother, but like most things in an orca's life, it's typically a group venture. Mothers can hand off their calves to another female temporarily to hunt or just take a break from motherhood! There have been instances of orcas adopting orphaned calves! The first that comes to mind is the captive orca Corky, though it has happened in the wild -- I'll have to find their names real quick. Despite losing seven calves in her lifetime, Corky is often considered a surrogate mother for calves that have lost theirs. 0 players like this post! Like? |

One whale in specific I'd like to yap about is Orkid. Corky was close to Orkid, despite not being her actual mother. Her mother, Kandu 5, got very aggressive towards Corky because of this -- perhaps due to jealousy or insecurity. It, in fact, reached a boiling point when Orkid was around three? I think? Kandu charged Corky, but Corky got out of the way -- Kandu ended up ramming a concrete wall instead and died due to internal injury later that day. Corky ended up mothering Orkid until she was mature. 0 players like this post! Like? |

A specific example of an orca handing off their calf is with L128. L90 "Ballena", L128's mother, was the first seen with the calf. However, they were later seen with L83 "Moonlight", while their mother was nearby looking for food. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Oh oh! There are actually a couple reasons why an orca might be white. Are you talking about the one off California? Their name's Frosty, if that rings a bell. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Oh! White Gladis? She, I believe, isn't actually gray at all. It's really easy to get them confused, though, so I might be wrong. 0 players like this post! Like? |

But, on the topic of grey/white orcas, there is actually a condition that gives them that color! It's called Chediak-Higashi Syndrome. Most whales with it are born with the typical black coloration, and have been observed to gradually lighten with age. It also, unfortunately, affects their immune system, so along with being very rare, almost if not none of them have been documented reaching adulthood. 0 players like this post! Like? |
