Evidence for an Oceanic Population of #KillerWhales (Orcinus orca) in Offshore Waters of California and Oregon https://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/article/evidence-for-an-oceanic-population-of-killer-whales-orcinus-orca-in-offshore-waters-of-california-and-oregon/

"A group of 49 #orcas has been seen hunting #SpermWhales, elephant #seals, #dolphins and even a #LeatherbackTurtle as far as 300 kilometres off the coast of #California and #Oregon... And it seems the killer #whales haven't been studied before"

Leatherback turtles are the world's only true warm-blooded reptile, able to maintain body temperatures of 26°C (79°F).

Thank you yet again The Guernsey Scientist !
