Killer Whale Tipe B
Description:
Description: English: A type B killer whale, showing distinctive two-tone gray “cape” pattern and large eye patch, in a attempt to catch a Weddell seal on an ice floe near Rothera Station, along the Antarctic Peninsula. A seal prey specialist, it may represent a distinct species. Français : Une orque de type B, présentant un motif distinctif de « selle » en dégradé de gris, et une large tache oculaire, s'attaque à un phoque de Weddel sur un floe, près de la station de Rothera, le long de la Péninsule Antarctique. Spécialiste de la prédation des phoques, il pourrait s'agir d'une espèce distincte. Source: National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs. Author: Robert Pitman.
