4-3-13 Ouch!

Wednesday, April 3rd

...new scratches showed up these last couple encounters...

...T19 looks like someone may have had a hold of her dorsal fin...

...a closer look at that tear... 
 
 ...now for the other side...
~~~

...T99C...from the right side looked like a zipper running along the top of the saddle patch...

...but when I got a look at the other side, well that is really the OUCH!...it is a fresh looking wound...(the late day sun played a role from this side, but I think that wound would be red no matter what)


...I went back and looked at the other side again and could see some of the fresh wound at the top...

...'zipper' what  could that be from...then I wondered if maybe it's from another young whale...teeth might not be spaced so far apart??..not sure, just a guess...but then what could make an 'even' wound line on both sides of the back like that?...

...it will probably heal up quickly...saltwater is good for healing...it's just the toxins in the saltwater that aren't...
