Discover the Fascinating World of Orcas and Whale Sharks! 🌊🐋

Hello Ocean Advocates!

 

I hope you are doing well! I'm excited to share our latest episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, where we dive deep into the incredible world of orcas and their surprising new hunting behavior.

In this episode, we explore the recent discovery of orcas hunting the largest fish in the ocean—the whale shark! 🦈 This groundbreaking revelation sheds light on the intelligence and adaptability of these apex predators. We discuss how orcas have been observed attacking whale sharks in the Gulf of California, targeting their nutrient-rich livers, much like they do with great white sharks.

Join me as we uncover: 

  • The fascinating hunting techniques of orcas and how they work together as a pod.
  • The implications of this new predation behavior on whale shark populations.
  • The importance of protecting these magnificent creatures amidst various environmental threats.

Whether you're a long-time ocean enthusiast or just starting to learn about marine life, this episode is packed with insights that you won't want to miss!
