Killer Whale

A group of Russian rescuers and volunteers have saved four killer whales stranded for hours off the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia's far east after leading them to deeper waters, the SHOT Telegram channel reported on Wednesday.

The pod of five first targeted the rudder, rendering the sailboat unable to steer after approximately 15 strikes.

An orphaned killer whale calf that had been trapped for weeks in a tidal lagoon on Vancouver island, dodging multiple rescue attempts, on Friday swam out on her own, a local Indigenous tribe said.

A lone killer whale was captured on film hunting and killing a great white shark off the coast of South Africa. The extraordinary footage has left scientists in awe, shedding light on the remarkable predatory skills of killer whales.

The researchers are also not able to reach the orcas due to the large packs of floating ice. Since there is no wind, the ice packs are not moving so that space can be made for the pods to escape.

Reportedly, these marine giants, reaching over 30 feet and weighing 22,000 pounds, relentlessly struck the yacht's steering fin for 45 minutes.

The fish, which was approximately 3m in length, washed up on the shore in Portland, Victoria on October 17 with the middle section of its body completely ripped apart.

Long-finned pilot whales are one of the largest members of the dolphin family, second in size to the killer whale. According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, they measure 19 to 25 feet long and can weigh up to 5,000 pounds.

The pod consisted of one adult male, one adult female, and two juveniles, the scientists confirmed.

Orcas are the largest members of the dolphin family and belong to the suborder of toothed whales known as odontocetes.

Lolita, the oldest killer whale in captivity, is expected to return to the Pacific Ocean, where she was born, after more than 50 years.

According to the man who shot the footage, the pod of orcas following his boat consisted of both males and females.

The team has been named Seattle Orcas. Orca is a killer whale found in the ocean around Seattle. The league is scheduled to be launched this July.

Kiska, the last captive killer whale in Canada, has died, the Ontario government said late on Friday, adding it was informed of the death by the theme park where Kiska lived.
