In the mysterious and enduring Human - #Orca peace treaty of mutual appreciation and nonaggression, thank these crab fisherman in Coronel #Chile for showing #orcas why, though they could eat us easily, that we're better left undisturbed: we're somewhat useful.

Exhilarating captain's log entry from Monterey Bay where the captain and passengers of Sanctuary Cruises captures incredible video of a pod of Bigg's killer whales hunting 15 dolphins. High wire acrobatics etc. "Seeing a predation event of this scale is a stark reminder of the raw, trophic dynamics of Monterey Bay.
