- 7 years ago
Stunning aerial footage of a pod of killer whales swimming off the coast of Newport Beach, California, USA.
The video, filmed on November 30, shows large numbers of orcas swimming near the surface.
The filmer later wrote online: "When I heard that there were killer whales out in this area, I freaked out and drove down to get on my friends whale watching boat called 'Newport Coastal Adventure'.
"There were over 50 and possibly about 80 all in sub-groups of about 3-10 individuals, some small calves with their mothers as well."
"We tracked these killer whales from two miles off the shore until they got 18 miles off the shore as they headed north-west," he continued.
