We normally see this type of killer whale in small pods of 3-8 individuals so it was really special to so many come together. It felt like an extended family gathering as adults logged on the surface, gently touching their heads together while calves from different pods played. This moment latest less than 5 minutes and soon the pods headed off in different directions. I wonder what they communicated about? The part of the brain responsible for emotional processing is far bigger in killer whales than in humans. They also have an extra attachment in this area of the brain that we lack. It’s very possible they have emotional connections that we’ll never be able to comprehend. #AnimalsUpClose on Disney @wildstarfilms @natgeo | Posted on 27/Mar/2024 21:57:40
