Origami Creations - Free Blackfish (Killer Whales or Orca) (逆戟鲸)

Still reeling from excitement on my whale shark experience, I went to watch the documentary movie "Blackfish".  

It is a story about a real Blackfish (more commonly called a killer whale or an Orca) in captivity named Tilikum who performs in SeaWorld shows in Orlando Florida.  It focuses on the consequences of animals in captivity and specifically highlighting the fact that Tilikum was involved in the deaths of 3 individuals (2 of them are his trainers).  Highly recommended movie as it is well researched and very informative.

Below is the official movie trailer:

My family was at SeaWorld in San Diego and personally seen this lovely, huge, likable and intelligent sea creatures.  Rightly so, they should have been called "Panda" whales rather than the scary moniker "killer whales".  Do you think so too?

Watching the movie also reminded me of a very nice origami model of Seiji Nishikawa of an Orca.  Diagram is found in the "Works of Seiji Nishikawa" book and here are photos of my fold:
