Quote:"If this is a 'frenzy' then they are good Canadian whales. That's about as frenzied as we Canadians get about anything.They are quite polite aren't they. They seem to be taking turns feeding.
I think they were feeding on a school of fish. As the article LPC posted says, Orcas eat fish, seafood and sea mammals. I suspect they would eat sea birds if they got the chance.
I notice that they even found moose in an Orca stomach. It sounds like they will eat anything that comes their way. The moose probably drowned and was eaten. Moose are a big animal and they usually are not found in the ocean. They could be swimming from one island to another. The west coast is full of little islands.
