This mystic photo of Offshore Killer Whales was photographed on a cold winter day close to Port McNeill on Northern Vancouver Island. On March 23, 2004 we got a call that possible offshore Killer Whales were close to shore and we were asked to confirm this with ID shots.
Unfortunately we could not get a lot of ID´s because it got dark fast, but we got enough to confirm that it was a group of Offshore Killer Whales - a very exciting whale watching experience!
The scientific name for this animal photo "Offshore Killer Whales" is
Orcinus orca.
Offshore Killer Whale sightings are rare close to shore
