ORCA'S in False Bay

On 17th April 2010 we received word that a pod of Orca's were chasing down a huge pod of dolphins, so we rushed to the boat and went looking for them. What happened next was a truly humbling experience that I've never witnessed before.



The Orca's tracked down the pod of dolphins and predated on one. With a full breach out of the water and knocking the dolphin miles into the air, before making turns to feed on the carcass.




After consuming everything but the head and internal organs, the Orca's made a run for it again to catch the dolphins. We followed them for about two hours before we were forced to turn around as we just had enough fuel to make it back to base.



This is the fourth time the Orca's came into the bay in the last year and we hope to see this soon again!
