Published on April 25, 2011An orca (killer whale) hunts a dolphin off the coast of Los Cabos
A few weeks ago, our friends atOcean Riders Los Cabosshared some incredible photos of migrant orcas cruising the coastline of Los Cabos. Visitors aboard Ocean Riders’ boats where treated to the once-in-a-lifetime sight of these magnificent hunters pursuing a pod of resident dolphins. The action-packed scene was rife with drama:
Acrobatics in the waters of Los Cabos as an orca hunts a dolphin just offshore...will the dolphin get away!?
The orcas had some babies present—no doubt giving them an important hunting lesson.
There was a happy ending for Cabo’s resident dolphins this day, as the killer whales were unsuccessful in their hunt, cruising off into the horizon as they make their way north along the Pacific coast.
