in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

Did you hear that K-Pod was seen in Monterey, California earlier this month? Well, they booked it back north, because this morning they were seen going north through Active Pass! 🤯 Ks averaged about 90 miles a day to make it from California back to the Salish Sea in just 11 days. #whalesky #orca
