Known for their striking black and white appearance and complex social structures, these cetaceans are intelligent and highly social animals. They can be found in the cold coastal waters around Vancouver, where they are often the subject of admiration and cultural significance, particularly among the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest who regard them with reverence and often feature them in their art and mythology.
