Orcas have been known to be an opportunistic species. There’s a pod of orcas off New Zealand coast that hunt sting rays, another off of Africa that have been eating the livers of sharks. Maybe this new pod just found a new food source that’s worth the effort.

@AKbaby89 6 ай бұрын

Yeah but that's not normal for this area. The orcas in this area eat either fish (resident orcas) or seals(transient orcas) and orcas are known to hug coast lines, they usually don't stay in the deep ocean (where cookie cutters are)

Nope, there are at least three to five types of orcas that could potential be species or subspecies, not just pods. In western North America, there are the. 'transient', 'resident', and 'offshore' types .Scientists still aren't entirely sure wether they can classify them as such (look up 'Species Problem'), but regardless they don't appear to crossbreed.

It's not possible for it to be a pod migrating because of a warmer climate? I know we keep track of many pods and you don't recognize them, but if they migrated from a farther distance... Also I'd say of course they're in open ocean they're all changing behavior the last 10 years.

Actually, there are different species of orca... maybe. Scientists aren't entirely sure but the three fistinct types/species, transient, resident, and offshore, don't seem to crossbreed. More study of the genus is required to acertain wether they are species, sub-species, or races, but calling them species is not incorrect based on our current knowledge.
