Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are the ocean's apex predators and are among the most widely distributed animals. They have fascinating foraging and social behaviour which varies from place to place, and there may even be different species of killer whales. Dr Reisinger will talk about these aspects, mainly using examples from his research on sub-Antarctic Marion Island. He will also talk about a new project with which he and his colleagues are trying to map important habitat for killer whales, seabirds and seals around Marion Island using tracking data.
The talk is part of the Friends of Bayworld AGM, but business will be brief and everyone is welcome.
When:
