Orca (Killer Whale)

I love this animal but I hate when they call it: "Killer Whale"

Me encanta este animal pero odio que le digan: "Ballena Asesina"

correct! it has not been spotted since March 16, 2011!

This orca is called Mel (PTN- 001)!

Jorge, in honor of World Oceans Day, we have selected this incredible series as Spotting of the Day! What an incredible set of photos and what a brilliant example of the ingenuity of apex predators. Thanks for your contributions.

"On the pebble beaches of the Valdés peninsula in Argentina, Orcas temporarily beach themselves to grab prey like sea lion pups before wiggling back into the sea."
