Canadian fishermen help hoist a man wearing a green hat and a blue plaid shirt onto a Canadian Coast Guard rescue boat that has pulled alongside them. As the man steadies himself, he turns around and says, “Thanks a lot guys,” then waves as the Coast Guard boat pulls away. “That’s one for the books,” one of the men on the fishing boat says.

Orcas were spotted hunting dolphins off the coast of San Diego, in a graphic new drone video. This behavior is normal, especially since this pod of killer whales specializes in eating dolphins.

So, for the orcas that cruise the area, eating dolphins is about a combination of opportunity and interest, Marino explained.
