A focus on whales, dolphins and all things cetacean

Marine researcher John Totterdell has dedicated his career to studying killer whales, or orcas, focusing on populations off the West Australian coast. With decades of fieldwork, he has illuminated their intricate social structures, opportunistic hunting behaviors, and critical role in marine ecosystems.
