Still Waters Posted March 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Scientists in the Canadian province of British Columbia have documented what is believed to be the first reported case of an orca whale killing an infant of the same species. “We knew right away that this was a remarkable event,” said Jared Towers, a Cetacean researcher with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, of the encounter he and two colleagues witnessed in December 2016. “We’ve been looking at killer whales for years on this coast and around the world – I study populations in different parts of the world – and witnessing aggressive behaviour between killer whales is almost unheard of.” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/mar/23/scientists-witness-first-reported-case-of-killer-whale-infanticide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
