Orca lovers in Seattle, Washington, follow the group chat Salish Wildlife Watch. The chat lets 1,800 members know when whales are near. Kersti Muul is a biologist who created the group. She and other friends watch for the giant mammals. They want more people to enjoy and protect these creatures. Group chat members can warn boats to avoid orcas. One member was so close to the whales, he could hear them puff from their blowholes!
