Explore our web pages to meet whales as individuals, with names and unique personalities.

Fan

Fan has a beautiful almost all-white tail.  The fan-like mark on the top of the left fluke is the reason for her name.  These scars were caused by killer whales grabbing at Fan's tail sometime during her first year as a calf.

Fan is easy to see coming up when near a boat, especially when upside down.  Humpback whales have different amounts of white on their bellies and as you can see, Fan is almost completely white underneath.  Imagine these whale watchers and their experience with Fan!
