Orcas Attack Gray Whale Calves Off California
SAN FRANCISCO AP A cloud of seabirds over Monterey Bay led scientists to witness killer whales attacking and devouring a gray whale calf. In two attacks last week about 10 to 20 orcas isolated the calf from its mother, exhausting and killing it as researchers described coordinated hunting behavior. Biologists noted calves and mothers injured. Submarine Canyon and Monterey Bay were among the observed sites.
