Orca pod T-Party in Deception Pass .. #killerwhales
T-Party in Deception Pass! Yesterday, a large group of Bigg's (mammal-eating) killer whales frolicked for nearly six hours in the swift current underneath Washington's Deception Pass Bridge. What a treat for whale watchers on both land and sea!

Something about Orcas watching you is deeply unsettling.

Shetland Orcas ..
Apr 22
ORCAS!!! Yesterday we enjoyed fabulous views of Orcas as they cruised along the west coast of the south Mainland, Shetland heading east to Sumburgh in the late afternoon. We identified them as four members of the '140s' pod - one of the least known and recorded pods in Shetland waters. Only a handful of records exist since 2011 and all sightings except for one in February 2024 have been in the month of April. To be able to watch, film and photograph this pod that we know very little about from land for such a large amount of time was a real privilege.

With terms like "bomb cyclone" and "atmospheric river" dominating local headlines, we could use a Throwback Thursday highlighting calmer, sunnier times. Captain Jeff Friedman of @sjiwhalewatch snapped this shot of a massive group of Bigg's killer whales back in July.

Orcas are Picky Eaters ..
10 Jul 2025
🍽️ Specific diets
Some orcas specialise on specific prey, and it turns out orcas are picky eaters! Once they’ve learned what their family eats, they aren’t likely to switch diets.

.. continued Orcas & Humans
By 100,000 years ago, both species had reached a peak in Encephalization Quotient. It's an incredible coincidence: while we were learning to master fire and stone on land, orcas were mastering the oceans as the world's most sophisticated social hunters

#orca Modern orcas and modern humans followed a similar timeline with current global lineages consolidating around 150,000 to 100,000 years ago.
What makes this parallel even more fascinating is that both species share two very rare traits that likely drove this "modern" success
