Did anyone see the short segment on Fox a little while ago, about the killer whales in the Gulf?

They're not supposed to be down by Corpus Christi, in warm waters, but should be in cooler waters, like the Pacific NW.

Maybe someone has posted it already, but why are they so far off course. It's apparently very unusual.

Here's a question: What are they feeding on? To my knowledge, there aren't a lot of Sea Lions in the Gulf and the only SEALs are liable to be in the Navy. That's only half a joke. Folks in wet suits and lying on surfboards have been mistaken for seals by Great White Sharks in the past. This is the most dangerous sea predator on earth, Free Willy v. Jaws is not even a breathing exercise for Willy. But they're smart. I don't think there has ever been a case of a Killer Whale deliberately attacking and killing a man, IIRC.

It has something to do with the change of the magnetic field. There have been lots of incidents with birds and sea life getting confused. This happens every so many years. Someone else can probably explain it better.
