Orcas Attacks

This year we documented more incidents of orcas attacking humpbacks then ever before. Whale Study Week guest Patricia Avery photographed this humpback about 10 days after it had been attached by orcas. While the whale healed at an impressive rate, it’s tail and dorsal area will be scarred for life from the encounter. The guests of Wildland Tours and contributers to Atlantic Whales are helping to document these encounters between humpbacks and orcas.
