BLUE WHALE GETS EATEN PART 1WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES
Speechless. To sum up today with one word, I almost cannot speak. It’s all to do with the Blue Whale we saw on our expedition.
This is part one in a two part blog series, the teaser to the main blog.
The LARGEST ANIMAL on the planet is no match for the APEX PREDATORS as we were witness to today.
BLUE WHALE PREDATION
A juvenile blue whale of 15-18 metres in length was hunted, and eaten by the orcas of the Bremer Canyon. From start to finish we witnessed a very long search, quick kill and then a long feeding time. We could not and still cannot believe that this is now our SECOND, yes that’s right, SECOND Blue Whale predation that we have ever witnessed! That takes the total -AUSTRALIA WIDE- predation count up to two… yes both have been here in the canyon, and both just a fortnight apart!
What started as an already unbelievable day with nearing a thousand cetaceans all surging in the same direction ending in the most epic take down by the most fearsome and precise Orca!
