No ocean creature can match the enthusiasm of this 6-month-old orca. Sorry, giant squids.
The excited young calf, named J50 by the Pacific Whale Watch Association (PWWA), was spotted swimming with her family in the Salish Sea near British Columbia. The baby whale must have seen one too many Red Bull commercials, as it tried to fly right as photographer Clint Rivers aimed his camera.

The resulting shot was rather over'whale'ming.
"Her energy is astounding –- I guess not unlike my small kids," Michael Harris, executive director of PWWA, told Global News "She’s constantly leaping into the air, and often curling up and doing belly flops."
We're not sure about legalities surrounding whale adoption, but after seeing J50, we just want to love her forever. Check out some of her other majestic photos below.
