Wenn sich ein Delphin und ein Orca treffen... Amazing! #dolphin #orca #delphin

Yesterday we got to witness an unbelievable spectacle as a pod of familiar(relatively speaking by our area’s standards of course) Eastern Tropical Pacific Killer Whales took on a full grown adult Bottlenose Dolphin! I’ve seen orcas hunt Bottlenose dolphins twice before, but on both of those occasions the target dolphin was a calf, not a fully grown adult! This group of 8 orcas blitzed a small pod of Offshore Bottlenose dolphins before zeroing in on this chunky adult! In a move I’ve never seen, the adult dolphin leaped into the air to avoid its pursers! In the end though, orcas can jump too… This amazing afternoon was made possible when our friends to the north from @oceansidewhales gave us a call alerting us to the possibility of orcas in the area, so a huge “thank you!” goes out to Captain Shane and the Oceanside Adventures team! @ was the one to nail this amazing shot, but it was an unforgettable day spent with our entire @gonewhalewatching team! I’m on my way back out to the ocean right now, so maybe we’ll find them again!
