Transient Orcas

Transient Orca's live in small family groups that are always on the move. They hunt marine mammals, like seals, sea lions and porpoise.

Such beautiful creatures, and all these shots taken so well Jude. Love your impeccable timing and so sharp. Thanks for sharing.

Great set. I too like the last two. Love the expression on the seals face. Looks like it is aware of it's fate.
