The pods favour rougher seas and a \u201cnoisier\u201d backdrop in order to achieve optimal stalking capabilities! BUT luckily, for today at least, we had the momentum of the ever building swell to entice the apex predators to stay in their backyard.<\/p>\n<p>After the calmest cruise out toward the canyon we\u2019d already sighted multiple mola sp. aka sunfish, aka \u201cswimming heads\u201d (the German translation) \u2013 might I add these creatures are the largest (and funniest looking) bony fish on the planet reaching a whopping 3m and 2.5 tonnes!! Evolution hasn\u2019t been kind to the sunfish but they\u2019re very impressive to see! They received the name as they sunbathe their large disk-like torso at the surface on their sides to thermoregulate for up to \u00bd their day!!! (how leisurely) while they spend the other half munging on jellyfish!<\/p>\n<p>The sun rays (not the fish) meant the algal blooms were flourishing at the surface and the thickest we\u2019ve encountered yet! When the plumes are thick its known as the \u201cred tide\u201d, stretching across the entire hotspot and as far as the eye could see. In the past the presence of these naturally occurring algal blooms have previously forced the orcas to elude the area as it\u2019s thought to irritates their skin with certain red tides being fatal to some marine life! Red tides occur naturally off coasts all over the world with the tiny red marine dinoflagellates often producing ichthyotoxins, but not all red tides are harmful. Thankfully and similarly to last week, today was quite the opposite!<\/p>\n<p>We had split tip\u2019s pod and the most adorable little juvenile intently diving for 8minute durations! Often with the juvenile surfacing prior to the rest of the group as if she was gasping to keep up! It wasn\u2019t long until there was a white water eruption just off the bow! Surging, head thrashing and continuous porpoising from 2000m of water back toward the 1000m contour. The orcas use the vast cliff walls to force their prey to the surface! On this instant, there were no clear signs of a predation at the surface, no oil, no smell, no blood. The only sign of any disturbance was a bird swirl squawking over fishy remains!<\/p>\n<p>As we left the hotspot to patrol the east we came across split-tips pod once again, the group were so docile, not diving at all, just skimming beneath the surface almost as if they were in autopilot to conserve their energy. It\u2019s rare but we do see the killer whales sleep for short bursts. We as humans have a breathing reflex and when we sleep or become unconscious, we continue to breathe automatically. Orcas cannot sleep in this way, they have to remain conscious, even when they are sleeping! Orcas have the ability to turn off half their brain, they often all join up in a straight line known as an \u201cechelon\u201d formation and synchronise their breathing and shallow surface dive for up to 30 minutes at a time. It was a sleepy, sunny and SENSATIONAL end to a more unique day! #orcas#bremerbay#killerwhales<\/p>\n<div data-offset-key=\"bmhvt-0-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11399\" style=\"caret-color: #050505;
