Turns out that not only humans are drawn to
California. But whereas humans visit
Disneyland and bask in the sun, orcas are in search of food – salmon to be precise.
There’s an official news release at The Center for Whale Research (they have great photos too).
Scientists think that the two resident orca pods from southern British Columbia and Washington State headed on their unusual migration south because of dwindling salmon supplies in northern waters. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, we all need to eat to survive. Survival is good.
We’ll keep an eye out for news and report a return of these native orcas to our waters. In the meantime, there are plenty of other orca pods in the Johnstone Strait area. Thankfully.
