Bladerunner the Whale’s Wild Survival

Did you know there’s a humpback whale named Bladerunner who survived a brutal boat strike off Sydney in 2001? The propeller left her with deep scars, but she kept swimming—and even had a calf years later! She’s become a symbol of resilience, but her story also highlights how common (and dangerous) boat strikes are for whales. Researchers are still tracking her, hoping her journey helps us protect more whales in the future. Bladerunner is living proof that nature is tough, but it needs our help! #BladerunnerWhale #WildlifeRescue #MarineConservation #WhaleWednesday #OceanStories #Science
