Downtown Vancouver hosts a rare family of orcas
A mother orca called T35A and her three offspring ventured into False Creek near downtown Vancouver in a stealthy hunt for harbour seals. Marine expert Andrew Trites notes the pod’s downtown appearance signals a healthier Salish Sea, with orcas seen more often as prey rebounds, though the hunt likely produced no catch.
