Springer (born late 1999 or early 2000), officially named A73, is a wild orca (also known as killer whale) from the Northern Resident Community of orcas which every summer frequent the waters off the northern part of Vancouver Island, British Columbia (BC). In January 2002, Springer, then a calf developmentally equivalent to a human toddler, was discovered alone and emaciated some 250 miles from the territory of her family (called a pod). Experts identified Springer by her vocal calls that are specific to her family, or "pod," and by examining photographs of her eye patch. They were also able determine where Springer's pod was currently located.

  • Springer (born late 1999 or early 2000), officially named A73, is a wild orca (also known as killer whale) from the Northern Resident Community of orcas which every summer frequent the waters off the northern part of Vancouver Island, British Columbia (BC). In January 2002, Springer, then a calf developmentally equivalent to a human toddler, was discovered alone and emaciated some 250 miles from the territory of her family (called a pod). Experts identified Springer by her vocal calls that are specific to her family, or "pod," and by examining photographs of her eye patch. They were also able determine where Springer's pod was currently located. After months of heated public debate, a decision was made by the United States National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to capture the young orca and attempt to reintegrate her into her pod. On June 12, 2002, Springer was captured and moved to a seapen in Manchester, Washington. On July 13, after medical treatment and rehabilitation, Springer was transported to Johnstone Strait, BC and held in a seapen at Dong Chong Bay, Hanson Island. The next morning, Springer was released near her close relatives. In October, she was seen traveling with her pod to the open ocean. The following July, she returned to Johnstone Strait with the same orca pod. Springer has been observed with her pod in Johnstone Strait every year since her rescue and translocation, becoming the only orca in history to be successfully reintegrated into a wild population after human intervention. In July 2013, 11 years after her rescue, Springer was seen off the central British Columbia coast with a new calf and is considered to be a contributing member of that population. In 2017 Springer was seen with another calf, who was confirmed to be her second offspring. (en)
  • Springer, née fin 1999 ou début 2000, aussi connue sous le nom scientifique A73, est une orque femelle. Springer est issue d'un groupe d'orques qui fréquentent chaque été les eaux au large de l'île de Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique. En 2002, Springer, est découverte émaciée et isolée loin du territoire de son groupe. Un vif débat public s'est engagé lorsque la National Marine Fisheries Service a décidé de capturer l'orque pour lui faire réintégrer le groupe. Le 12 juin 2002, Springer est ainsi capturée et déplacée vers un centre de Manchester, dans l'État de Washington. Après un traitement médicalisé, Springer est relâchée vers le détroit de Johnstone, elle réintègre son groupe, puis est revue plusieurs années de suite avec celui-ci. Springer est ainsi devenue la première orque à réintégrer avec succès son groupe d'origine après une intervention humaine. En 2013, Springer est même observée avec un jeune orque, Spirit, faisant d'elle la première orque réintégrée ayant donné naissance. (fr)
  • Springer, född 1999 eller 2000, är en späckhuggare som kom vilse från sin familj och blev hittad ensam 2002 nära Vashon Island i Pugetsundet. Valen fångades in och släpptes sedan för en återförening med familjen. Återföreningen blev lyckad och 2013 såg man henne med en kalv. (sv)
