Summary
DescriptionOrca, Killer Whale, breaching - Morro Bay, CA May 8, 2014 Orcinus orca.jpg |
Orca, Killer Whale, breaching, in what I believe to be an intentional show-off and even euphoric display of dominance, upon recognizing that their activity was being observed by us less powerful vulnerable creatures sheltered on a 34’ boat. More photos in this series in www.flickr.com/photos/mikebaird/sets/72157644173448749 A pod of Killer Whale Orcas (Orcinus orca), in a feeding frenzy, numbering perhaps to 15. The Orcas were feasting on the remains of a baby Gray Whale (Eschrichtius robustus), which they had attacked the day before as the mother Gray Whale and her baby were heading on their north Spring migration to their feeding grounds. Several small boats and vessels were in the area observing this frenzy, as this rare event had well made the local news. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whale says “The killer whale (Orcinus orca), also referred to as the orca whale or orca, and less commonly as the blackfish, is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family.” 08 May 2014, Morro Bay, CA, just off Morro Rock, on the Dos Osos boat, from SubSea Tours, with skilled skippers Dane and Shana.
