"Ocean Treasures" creator Dr. Gregory R. Mann

"L-58" was named "Sparky" by the Whale Museum to honor Dr. Mann's given nickname in the game of Slow-Pitch Softball. "L-58" was born in 1980 and died in 2003. "Sparky" had a tall dorsal fin with a rounded tip and a slight wave in the middle. He was the first calf of "Tanya" L-5 and had a younger brother "Flash" L-73 born in 1985. They were a very tight group and were rarely seen apart. "Sparky" was frequently observed with teenage males from the Southern Resident community around him. Perhaps he was serving as a role model or "big brother".
