Looking for Antarctic killer whale video
At the recent conference in Cape Town I gave a talk about satellite tracking killer whales in Antarctica. The tracks showed that pinniped-eating killer whales (Type B) were spending a lot of time poking around large Emperor Penguin colonies. This ecotype is not currently known to prey upon penguins but we suggested it might be a possibility. After my talk someone (whose name I forgot to note) came up and told me he had seen some graphic video footage from Scott Base(?), Antarctica, of killer whales feeding on Emperor Penguins. I have had no luck tracking down this video; if anyone out there has any information they could pass along, either about the video or the chap I talked to, please contact me.
