New England Aquarium researchers spotted something unusual during an aerial survey -- a group of four killer whales swimming just 40 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
New England Aquarium researchers spotted something unusual on Sunday afternoon during an aerial survey — a group of four killer whales swimming just 40 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts. Killer whales, also known as orcas, are more commonly seen in areas surrounding the Arctic ice-edge and the Caribbean, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The last sighting of an orca in Massachusetts waters was in May 2022.
Orla O’Brien, an associate research scientist who leads the aerial survey team for the aquarium’s Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life, noted in the release that the team’s observation felt “particularly special” because the orca population in western North Atlantic waters is very small. During Sunday’s survey, the researchers confirmed that the pod they saw included one adult male, one adult female and two juveniles.
