Killer Whales: Beneath the Surface

Taal: nld
Categorie: Natuur

Documentary about orca whales, revealing the latest discoveries about the true nature of an animal long feared as a sea monster. Ever since the first 'killer whale' was brought into captivity in May 1964, it has become clear that these marine mammals are not mindless killers but are highly intelligent, social creatures. These apex predators will even 'adopt' and care for injured and abandoned orphans. This documentary also reveals that the orca is a surprisingly varied species, with different sub-species and with regional differences in their behaviour and even in their whalesong.
