The youngest member of The Super Fins®, Whiskers has more energy than brains sometimes. Eager to be part of the team, he will occasionally rush into a story before thinking ahead of time if it's a good idea. In some habitats, the wrong questions can turn an interviewer into prey!
As the only member of The Super Fins®, Whiskers covers freshwater rivers and the areas where rivers pour into the ocean, known as brackish waters (freshwater meets saltwater). Able to travel along the shoreline, Whiskers covers stories that range from killer whales (who swim surprisingly close to the shoreline) to human interaction on land. Here are some of his recent stories:
