Sharing a West Coast story that I find rather interesting.
Nature continues on.
These Orcas found out it was safe again to return to a place they left over 20 years ago.
What I see is a firm foundation of innate intelligence, patience, and long lasting memory, and probably the intercommunication from other whale pods.
Seems to be a lot of evidence amassing for the Intelligent Design side, in my opinion.

Long-lost B.C. orca pod returns home for first time in more than 20 years

The A5 pod brought a new calf to their former Broughton Archipelago winter hunting area

More than 20 years after it was last spotted,a celebratedlong-lost orca familyis back in North Island waters.

The A5 pod has returned to the Broughton Archipelago,their traditional winter hunting ground,with a brand new baby in tow.
[…九个家族,由40-year-old matriarch Ripple(officially A43) swam up Fife Sound, a place she would have visited as a youngster.

Ripple was just a teen when she was last in the Broughton,and Morton joked that maybe she wasn’t watching where they were going.The matriarchs are the ones who lead orca podsandare in charge of remembering their routes,and it seems Ripple was learning well.

She brought her family back with her youngest grand-calf jumping alongside its mother, Midsummer (A69), who Ripple birthed in 1997. Both mother and baby look healthy, Towers said.

This pod was raided a number of times in the 1970s as orcas were captured for aquariums. Only one of the captured whales is still alive. Corky is Ripple’s older sister, and lives in SeaWorld in San Diego.

TheA5 pod stopped coming around 1995whena fish farm companystarted usingacoustic harassment devicesto deter seals.
[…]
Orcas are vocal creatures. Their communication is so sophisticated that each family has a distinct dialect.Theseal deterrent device pulsed out 198 decibels of sound— theequivalent of a jet engine.
[…]Seeing a family take this newest pod member into the traditional feeding grounds for the first known time in decades brought a well-needed sense of hope to start the new year,” he said.
"“It’s a sign of healing that they have decided its safe to go back in there,” Morton said."
