What Killer Whales Can Teach Us
Hardback
Publication Date: 24/09/2015
The orca otherwise known as the killer whale is one of earth's most intelligent animals. Remarkably sophisticated, orcas have languages and cultures and even long term memories, and their capacity for echolocation is nothing short of a sixth sense. They are also benign and gentle, which makes the story of the captive orca industry and the endangerment of their population in Puget Sound that much more damning.
