Here are some videos from Planet Wild where they are:
Training guerrilla firefighters in Sicily: planetwild.com/bizarrebeasts/6
Reviving a river after an eco disaster: planetwild.com/bizarrebeasts/5
Off the coast of South Africa, a small group of orcas with an apparent taste for shark liver have been taking out great white sharks since at least 2017. And, honestly, that’s not even the strangest thing killer whales have been up to lately.
