Chris Fallows managed to take some stunning photos of the whales hunting conning dolphins, and we thought you would like to see these.

This is absolutely amazing! We look forward to the return of the Southern Right Whales every year along the coast from Gordon's Bay though Kleinmond and through to Hermanus, but to see these Killer Whales hunting dolphin in False Bay is just wonderful!

Great pictures. I was lucky enough to see a pair of killer whales while doing the Otter Trail a number of years ago.

lucky sighting

I saw an Orca in Fish Hoek bay a couple of years ago. You hardly ever see them, so this was a rare piece of luck. Although they are called killer whales, I think they actually belong to the dolphin family. Congrats on wonderful pics, Chris, and thanks for sharing!

Amazing photos.

What amazing photos Chris! The whales look fairly close to the shore too. Isn't it very unusual to see killer whales off our shores in the Western Cape? Could this be related to climate change?
