Whales on the Hunt
Cover Image:
Transient Biggs Orca hunting near Cape Mudge Lighthouse
Jos Krynen, Eagle Eye Adventures
Orca are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain in our marine ecosystem. When Transient Orca are hunting, the Orca work as a group and are very stealthy when approaching their prey. When they are close, Orca may exhibit a burst of speed to catch their prey often leaping (“porpoising”) out of the water. Some Orca use their tails to hit, stun, and injure their prey, which could be a seal, sea lion, porpoise, dolphin, or a juvenile whale of a larger species. Other species of Cetaceans display unique methods in catching their prey, such as bubble-net feeding by the Humpback whales.
Boaters, please use caution on the water. Federal laws require boats to remain at least 400-m away when viewing Southern Resident Orca and for other Cetaceans, laws require boats to remain at least 100-m from the whales/dolphins. If you come across some Orca and you are uncertain if they are Southern Resident Orca, it is best to still maintain your distance of 400-m. Remember N.E.W.S. when you see a whale, meaning put your boat in NEUTRAL, ENJOY the view, WAIT till the whales are at a fair distance, and then SLOWLY leave the scene.
We acknowledge that our sightings map and archive map are not fully functional at this time, and we are working to resolve the issue.
WOWs works throught the year, so please continue to keep your eyes open, and report your sightings to us.
