As of today, out of season, returns ~March. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Along the eastern shores of Peninsula Valdes, a small number of local killer whale family groups perform learned 'intentional stranding' hunts, beaching briefly to seize sea lion pups.
This rare, culturally transmitted hunting technique is documented at only a few locations worldwide and draws wildlife viewers to Punta Norte and nearby beaches during the austral autumn.
