Solitary Orca Calf Sighted off the Coast of Australia

5/9/2012

0 Comments

 
Just across the water from New Zealand, off the coast of Australia, an orca calf was filmed by crew aboard a 30 year old platform supply vessel in August. It is reported that the calf had been following nature watch boats for a few days, but hasn't been sighted for over 2 weeks - if anyone has any recent news or updates it would be hugely appreciated so that we can pass the information on to the appropriate authorities (who have already been informed). 

It is uncertain why the calf was alone but we are hoping here at Orca Aware that the young orca was picked up by family.
