After a long wait, James Cameron’s sequel Avatar 2: The Way of Water has finally started this week. After the more than 3-hour visit to the cinema, the encounter with a sea creature resonates with the viewers. That’s what they show enthusiastic whale reactions.

Avatar: The Way of Water’s tulkun take their obvious inspiration from whales – they have the massive pectoral fins of humpback whaleswhile their jaw structure tends to right whales (Eubalaena) remembered.
Some of Pandora’s underwater creatures (such as the large predatory fish known as “Nalutsa” and “Akula”) can be dangerous even to the ocean tribe of the Na’vi. Others such as the flying fish (“Skimwing”) and underwater swimmers (“Ilu”) are used as mounts. The Metkayina clan, on the other hand, has become close friends with the whales: some Na’vi and Tulkun even form a sibling relationship connection in spirit (“Spirit Brother” / “Spirit Sister”).
The Tulkun whale that Jake Sully’s second son Lo’ak (Britain Dalton) forms this bond with is an outcast because he is accused of killing other whales. His name is Payakan and is fast becoming a newcomer to Avatar 2’s darling.
