There is no such thing as a "Canuck whale." However, there is a killer whale named Canuck (pronounced kah-NUK), also known as J24 "Eltanin" (pronounced EL-tan-nin), who was an approximately 4-year-old male Southern Resident killer whale that lived in the waters off the coast of British Columbia. The Vancouver Canucks, a professional ice hockey team based in Vancouver, Canada, use an orca whale as their logo, which is sometimes referred to as the "Canucks Orca". The orca is a symbol of family, romance, longevity, harmony, travel, community, and protection, and is an apex predator. The Canucks mascot is an anthropomorphic orca named Fin).
