Orca, The Whale Called KillerErich Hoyt1990

Star performers in aquariums and marine parks, killer whales were once considered to be too dangerous to approach in the wild. Erich Hoyt and his colleagues spent seven summers following these intelligent and playful creatures in the waters off northern Vancouver Island, intent on dispelling the killer myth. "Orca: The Whale Called Killer" is Hoyt's exciting account of those summers of adventure and discovery, and the definitive, classic work on the orca or killer whale.
