Last weekend, Afelandra González, marine biologist and diving instructor, recorded in two videos the killer whale chasing bottlenose dolphins to the amazement of those who witnessed the scene from boats and boats in the waters of the Gulf of Baja California Sur (Mexico). This is how he described it on his Instagram account @afelandrina.

“Last week, Friday and Sunday, I had the chance to interact with the same family of killer whales (Orcinus orca) at two different sites in the southern Gulf of California. Two years ago, I saw them. seen chasing common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) and on Friday they chased them again but I never imagined seeing them hunting bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) because they are bigger and stronger!

“But on Sunday, they impressed me with their power, their strategy and their precision, successfully hunted two herds of different dolphins, at different times. They are the queens of the sea, the first predator but also the most intelligent and the most curiousWhen you can interact with them it’s because they want to, they decide whether you can see them or not. What I experienced is so incredible that it still feels like a dream “, added.

“Orcas should always be free to jump out of the water and follow their natural instincts! They don’t deserve to be used for human entertainment and kept in captivity,” he wrote at the end of his speech. publication.

“My mission is to make more people fall in love with nature, children or adults, that they know the wonders of the aquatic world thanks to the diving “.

I think you can’t want to take care of something or respect it if you don’t. Through the immersion I can see how people totally change their perspective and this is the perfect time to raise awareness and send them home with a new vision and so that they can spread to more people and form a huge chain of awareness and love for wildlife and thus ensure the future of ecosystems “,
