Banff's Story
Banff was discovered during a research study with our good friends and partners at Inwater Research Group. Radiographs revealed that Banff had a hook in their throat that would require surgery. Luckily, the hook was successfully removed, and after a speedy recovery we were proud to release Banff on August 8, 2022.
