Resident orca
The Observer
|June 22, 2025
Deem me a mother’s boy, if you like. After all, it’s what I am. But I strongly recommend that you keep all traces of contempt from your voice. I'm 25ft long, I have a mouth like a guillotine, I’m smarter than anything else that lives in the sea and I'm a born killer.
Monday
Call me killer whale, call me orca, it’s all one to me. Call me the first because you respect my ferocity; call me the second because you respect my intelligence and the rich culture I was born into. Never be so foolish as to think humans are the only animals with culture.
Tuesday
It was beautiful, the way we did our fishing today. We're residents, our home is the Pacific off the shores of Canada and Alaska, and we specialise in chinook salmon. The way we worked together - it was perfectly coordinated, thanks to our brilliant comms. It's not easy but, well, sometimes we make it look so.
