Check out this stunning photo of transient orcas harassing a grey whale calf off the coast of California - status update from Transient Killer Whale Research Blog by Josh McInnes:
Looks like another amazing Transient show off California. Two Young orcas known as CA49 and CA49B were witnessed by Channel Islands whale watch harassing a Grey whale calf. The mother was able to scare off the attacking transients. The Grey whale migration south is now in full swing and unlike the West coast transients the mammal eaters of the South take advantage of these large prey sources. This could be because of the lack of harbor seals or any sort of prey deficiency. Josh McInnes
