#OrcaFacts: Though many populations of Killer Whales travel through Scottish waters, there is a small unique individuals who call the Small Isles and Skye home. This pod, fondly referred to at the West Coast Community, have been seen preying on porpoises, dolphins, whales, and seals.
Unlike many predators, #cheetahs rely more on sight than smell.
They often scan from raised spots like termite mounds, using their sharp daytime vision ๐๏ธ to detect prey, rivals, and danger. โ ๏ธ
Their eyesight is strong enough to catch movement across vast distances โ sometimes several miles. ๐พ๐งญ
Strong storm this evening, heavy rain + hail, made this little raccoon stay in bed longer hence the poor video quality.

It's #OrcaActionMonth and #FunFactFriday. Did you know Orcas can be found in and around every island in the Galapagos year-round but they are very unpredictable. They are always seen in small groups, never larger than 10 individuals, and frequently spotted alone.
#OrcaFacts: Northern Resident Killer Whales are the only killer whale population known to rub their bodies regularly on beach stones in shallow water. This highly ritualized and social behaviour occurs near a few select beaches in British Columbia and southeast Alaska!

OTD in '22: Something a little different again...and one of the challenges of running camera trap arrays on a working farm! (think: groups of 1000 lb critters looking for scratching posts and things to lick)
