Baby Wilson
Baby Wilson, the youngest member of our Orca family, was born in October 2014. This beautiful baby is an eye-catcher for anyone lucky enough to observe him.
It's a spectacle to see him in his natural environment. Curious, he watches his mother catching tuna and, despite his young age, tries to snatch pieces of his mother's prey.
He enchants our guests with his acrobatic jumps and his joy of life and makes the whole trip a very special pleasure.

This is how we have experienced Baby Wilson since the beginning of our adoption program:
2015
Baby Wilson has quickly become the darling of our guests. A cheeky and trustful youngster, who was often at the boat, circled it and looked up curiously. He often played with the other three young ones or was learning how to eat tuna.
2016
Baby Wilson has grown over the winter and spring. But he is still the smallest of the four young orcas.
He had to learn how to eat a tuna fish (or at least a piece of it), because without hands it's not that easy! So he had a little less time for us, but still jumped a few times to our joy.
2017
Baby Wilson has grown a lot since last season. Now he is only the second smallest of the young Orcas. Estrella is smaller than him.
He continued to learn how to eat tuna. He therefore came less to the boat and seemed very busy. Only once, when there were nice waves, he showed us fantastic jumps!
2018
Baby Wilson is now one of the biggest of the young Orcas. He (or maybe she?) is still very curious and often brings his younger siblings to the boat. Near the fishermen, however, he is usually busy catching fish himself, or at least learning from the adults. He is therefore often to be found with his mother or also with Camorro.
2019
Baby Wilson is no longer one of the smallest. He's a cheeky juvenile, always up for action around the boat. He's still recognizable by the small black spot in his white eye patch.
2020
On the 03rd of August, we saw a boisterous Baby Wilson, ready for some big jumps. The little guy, who is now six years old, has grown into a juvenile.
2021
We have known Baby Wilson since 2014. This August we were able to observe him five times.
2022
Unfortunately, we didn't see Baby Wilson this season.
2023
This year, Matriarchin's group returned to the Strait of Gibraltar. Baby Wilson was also present several times during the sightings in August.
2024
Baby Wilson is already a handsome youngster, about 10 years old. We've been able to spot him occasionally this summer.
