The resident Killer Whales (Orca) of Vancouver
Island, are a sight to behold.
Having watched this pod for an hour from a
distance we turned to leave. Simultaneously, the pod turned and crossed
our path. Realizing this Orca was seemingly heading right for me, I
scrambled for my camera, barely catching its passing fin.
The Northern, and Southern, Resident Orca have
evolved with the salmon in the Pacific Northwest. Today, they only eat
fish, in contrast to the mammal eating Transient Orcas found globally.
