the Orca and the Fishermen......
wildlife photographer of the year finalist

One helping the other one......back and forth!........Splitting the catch!
Sometimes it’s the fishing boats that look for the killer whales.......
hoping to locate the shoals of herring that migrate to the Arctic Norwegian waters......
But in recent winters, the whales have also started to follow the boats.......
Here a large male killer whale feeds on herring that have been squeezed out of the boat’s closing fishing net.....
He has learnt the sound that this type of boat makes when it retrieves its gear... and homed in on it......
The relationship seems to be a win-win one.....
Good! at least they dont try to kill or harm the killer whale!
Nice thing to see!!!.....they got an understanding.....!!! LOL
different from normal aggressive human behavior towards animals......
and a great picture :-)
enjoy!
