Biggs orca whales hunting in the salish sea is no longer an "uncommon encounter". they are indeed the new resident orca in the area. sightings of the infamous southern resident killer whale community are simply not common as they struggle to find food (salmon, prey). killer whales are top of the food chain.
Bigg S Orca Seal Hunt Amazing Day Spirit Of Orca The bigg's killer whales—which we identified as the t46b family—approached the vessel without warning. several attempts were made to break away to get some distance between the vessel and the hunting whales. the whales persisted, pushing the seal toward the vessel, keeping it near. Considering that these species have excellent hearing and predator avoidance tactics such as their speed (porpoises and dolphins) or the ability to haul out on rocks (seals and sea lions), transient killer whales relied on hunting quietly in small groups to take their prey by surprise. Transient killer whales, also known as bigg’s killer whales are a genetically and culturally distinct population or ecotype of orcas within the pacific northwest and prey exclusively on marine mammals. the name “transient” came from killer whale researcher dr. michael bigg who observed their behavior as transient or more nomadic. A "national geographic" type of moment took place on friday afternoon on our edmonds half day whale watching tour when the t99 family of bigg's orcas took down a seal in a dramatic fashion off the coast of whidbey island. bigg's orcas are apex predators, and frequently their hunts happen underwater. not this time!.

We were so fortunate to have a large group of bigg’s killer whales work their way down the shoreline of san juan island after they had made a successful kill. there was much playing and socializing involved between the t36s, t46s, and t99s. check out this footage captain ivan and naturalist traci took! photos below by naturalist katie jones!. A group of up to 10 bigg’s orcas, including a juvenile, paid a surprise visit to the seaplane docks in the inner harbour on the weekend, frolicking and getting close enough that people were. Officially known as west coast transients but increasingly referred to as bigg’s killer whales, these marine mammal eating orcas (orcinus orca) are spending increasing time in the salish sea to consume their marine mammal prey including harbor seals, steller sea lions, and harbor and dall’s porpoise. Jared towers of the department of fisheries and ocean has confirmed the ids of the bigg’s killer whales in the august 31, 2011 encounter to be: t010s, t034s, t035s, t037s, t046bs, and t146s. insight into this behaviour is provided by dr. john ford and graeme ellis.
