Showing results for "Orcas" in Nature & Ecology

In 1970, in one of the most infamous orca round-ups in history, an orca calf named Tokitae was taken from the islands off the coast of Seattle.

In Of Orcas and Men, a marvelously compelling mix of cultural history, environmental reporting, and scientific research, David Neiwert explores an extraordinary species and its occasionally fraught relationship with human beings. Beginning with their role in myth and contemporary culture, Neiwert shows how killer whales came to capture our imaginations and brings to life the often-catastrophic environmental consequences of that appeal.

Orca Nerds main purpose is to share information on current events in the killer whale world. Whether you are close to the ocean to see these creatures or thousands of miles inland, you can get your orca fix here!
