Insane Encounter with Bigg’s (Transient) Killer Whales – 28/12/17

The T49A’s and T123’s Feast on a Sea Lion! -9/4/16
The T49A’s and T123’s were so awesome today!! T123A “Stanley,” a robust 16 year old male, was lunging out of the water during a Sea Lion hunt he and his mother and little sister were engaged in (ps: the sea lion lost) It makes me wonder, when they apparently take their time consuming a carcass the…
