Chipotle's refusal to sell stores to franchisees begging for a chance to become a part of the brand is a good thing, analysts say. The company's careful control is still a key part of what makes the burrito chain function as a fast-casual restaurant.
Make the journey to where the orcas live. In North America, your best bet is to head to the islands at the northern tip of Washington state near Bellingham and Anacortes, Washington. These small islands, including San Juan Island and Orcas Island, are the orcasâ home base in the States.
Orcas, like other cetaceans, travel in pods. Orca pods are matrilineal family units, which means that they are headed by a female, usually the mother. Resident pods are usually larger than transient pods. A resident pod can include from five to 50 orcas, whereas a transient pod usually consists of one to six orcas. The differences in pod sizes are probably due to differences in feeding habits (see Feeding Habits below).
