Orca Calf Known as 'Brave Little Hunter' Freed from Canadian Lagoon

After a month-long entrapment, the two-year-old orca calf swims to freedom, marking a significant moment for the Ehattesaht First Nation.

The orca calf, named kwiisahi?is or 'Brave Little Hunter,' escaped a tidal lagoon on Vancouver Island where it had been stuck since late March.
Multiple rescue attempts including using recorded orca sounds and a violin serenade were made before the calf freed itself.
The Ehattesaht First Nation, who have been closely monitoring the calf, expressed joy and relief at her escape.
Authorities are now focusing on ensuring the calf's safe passage to the open ocean with minimal human interference.
The story of the calf's struggle and eventual freedom is expected to resonate deeply within the Indigenous community and beyond.
