Hi all, On behalf of all co-authors, I am pleased to announce the publication of our manuscript titled "The first three records of killer whales (Orcinus orca) killing and eating blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus)" in Marine Mammal Science led by John Totterdell. This paper highlights the first three records of killer whales successfully predating on blue whales, including on a healthy adult. The predations events were observed between 2019-2021 in southwestern Australia.
