Stephen’s first post of the newly discovered Killer Whale type D!

Type D Killer Whale

My first post on Type D killer whales

So friends it is possible to actually travel to the antarctic via nternational Association of Antarctic Tour Operators  (IAATO)

and researchers have been using this transport as a way of doing their all important research, in this case, the ‘putting on the map of type d killer whales’. Perhaps one of the main reasons this type of Orca killer whale hasn’t been discovered yet, apart from looking similar to the known varieties is the fact that they live in the most in-hospital oceans and environments in the world! and tourism, suggesting that lay people on their holidays could contribute to these important animal discoveries through taking photos etc. is really amazing. You know, you don’t have to be a discoverer or adventurer nowadays to even be the first person to discover in this case an animal (killer whale).

Great stuff and a mention to Kraig Becker for posting this interesting post on his blog! https://adventureblog.net/2019/03/antarctic-tour-vessel-helps-solve-mystery-of-killer-whales.html

As we can see from the above Killer Whales, type d seems to have a flatter nose and a smaller white patch above its eye!
