Summary

90% Informative

Scientists noticed orcas interacting with baby pilot whales off Iceland every year from 2021 to 2023 .

Each instance was short-lived and featured different individual pilot whales and different pods of orcas.

Researchers say the interactions could be a result of climate change because pilot whales follow schools of mackerel schools into warmer waters.

She hopes that, next summer , her group will finally observe how the young pilot whales get entangled with the orcas and what happens to them next.
