  Pinball the humpback  

 

Pinball is a female humpback who was born in 1989 to a whale named Linar. She is one of the most commonly sighted humpbacks in our area.  Our researchers have seen Pinball every year since 1997!

She was named because of the circular black markings on her tail which look like pin balls.  She has brought three calves to our area in the summer, including Wand (1997), Whirley-gig (2000) and an as-yet-unnamed calf in 2003.

Pinball is also one of the humpbacks we have available for adoption. Click here for more information about our adoption program!
