Killer Whales Attacking and Killing a Dolphin Near Catalina Island, California
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Orcas attacking and killing dolphins! As a whale watcher in Southern California, you know that it’s technically possible to see killer whales any time of year, in any location. Those of us on the water daily will make offhand comments like hey, let’s go find the Orcas today, when we know deep down there’s less than a 1% chance of that happening on a standard whale watch. So as we cruised towards Catalina Island on a gloriously calm afternoon, and those tall unmistakable dorsal fins appeared on the horizon, we simply couldn’t believe it! It wasn’t until we were finally close enough to scream “ORCAS!!” that we let ourselves get lost in the amazing moment of discovering the whale watching holy grail sighting. We arrived right as this pod of Eastern Tropical Killer Whales was preparing to attack a large group of dolphins!

Beautiful but sad. It's a great video, but seeing the dolphin in the orca's mouth is hard.

I sometimes get that kind of feeling, especially with baby Gray Whales along the California coast. Nonetheless, in the case of this dolphin (who also ate a lot), the huge dolphin who's eating it is not causing its extinction. Food chains mostly consist of bigger things eating smaller things, and I don't want that orca to be starving like the Southern Resident Killer Whales. I do feel bad, moreover, about human activity. Not only are thousands of dolphins still killed 'accidentally' by fishing of various kinds, but also our species is causing the extinction of many other species. THAT is distressing, and worth changing.
