Shane Russeck
"To the Heavens" 45x60 Last Photograph of Orca "Granny" Killer Whale Photography

2016

About the Item

One of the last known photographs of the remarkable Orca "Granny''. Granny (born c. 1911, presumed dead between October–December 2016), also known as J2, was an orca (killer whale). She was estimated by some whale researchers to have been 105 years old, but her age is a source of dispute, with other studies putting her at age 65-80. If she was 105, she would have been the oldest known orca at the time of her death. A member of the endangered southern resident killer whale population, Granny lived in the northeast Pacific Ocean and coastal bays of Washington state and British Columbia. Granny was estimated to have been born in 1911. She was last seen on October 12, 2016, and was considered deceased by The Center for Whale Research in January 2017 Singed and numbered Edition of 10 Printed on archival paper Framing available.
