Killer Whales Seen At Piper's Lagoon Nanaimo

Transient Pod Of Killer Whales
Stop For Lunch Off Piper's Lagoon

An article in the Daily News reports that a pod of transient killer whales were seen in the waters off Piper's Lagoon on Thursday for a period of about 5 hours.

It is suspected the local seal and sea lion population rang the dinner bell for the transient pod of whales who have a taste for meat.

Two marine biologists were seen in a small boat during the event, which caused some concern for local residents who thought perhaps they were harassing the whales. However, they were photographing the members of the pod and collecting samples of their lunch scraps to see what they were eating.

Anyone who sees killer whales in the local waters are encouraged to call Whale-Watch at 250-756-7253.
