KILLER WHALES AFTER BLUE SHARK : HE GOT AWAY BECAUSE KILLER WHALES NO LIKE
Excerpt: This CA140B pod of orcas, known as Louise’s family after their matriarch, are regular visitors to the Monterey area and are seen several times a year, Talty said. Most killer whale sightings take place in April and May near Monterey.
“What a rare and lucky encounter today between two unique species!” Monterey Bay Whale Watch said on Facebook.
Orcas are the largest members of the dolphin family, according to the World Wildlife Fund. They can reach up to 32 feet and more than 12,000 pounds.
Orcas can live up to 90 years and are a top predator, with 100 teeth. They feed mainly on other marine mammals and fish, along with seabirds and marine turtles.
Blue sharks can reach up to 13 feet long and weigh more than 450 pounds, according to Brittanica. They feed mainly on fish, squid and crustaceans.

EXCERPT: All in all, King estimates that more than 1,000 octopuses known as Muuscoctopus robustus were nestled among the rocks, most of which appeared to be inverted, or turned inside out. For this species, that inside-out pose is common among females that are brooding, or protecting their growing young. In some cases, the submersible's camera could even spot tiny embryos cradled within their mother's arms.
