This detail of a mural by Robert Wyland shows two swimming killer whales. This mother whale is highly protective and nurturing to her calf. These orcas are just one of nine whale species found in Alaska’s coastal waters. This is #54 in Wyland’s Whaling Wall series of 100 murals across the world. It was painted at 406 West 5th Street in downtown Anchorage in 1994.
