Orcas

QBE July 2022 Expedition Update—Océanopolis (Brest)

🇫🇷 Happy Bastille Day! 🇫🇷

Wow, the Océanopolis aquarium complex is massive! Here we are examining an orca for periodontal disease. (We can only imagine what a mouthful of implants would cost—they can have up to 50 teeth.) Orcas belong to the dolphin family; speaking of which, we’ve had pods of dolphins following us this past week. And that is an amazing sight, especially when you’re so close you can almost touch them!
