Ever wonder what a Bigg’s Orca seal hunt looks like? Some of my guests have experienced it but many have not. Today we saw a few seals get eaten, and a very intense seal hunt taking place with some very traumatized seals, but apparently an unsuccessful hunt because the pod moved on rather quickly.
We were with the T65A’s and T37A’s today. They started out all running together but shortly after our arrival split up. The first pics are of T65A2 who took off on his own for a bit then the rest of the T65As when he caught back up. Then we moved on to the T37A’s as they scoured rocks and kelp for a seal.
Later, on the second tour we spent the entire time with the T37A’s, we did see them snatch up a seal but then the big hunt proved to be unfruitful. However, we were able to get some amazing pics of the hunt though.
