Description

First published in 1981, Orca: The Whale Called Killer tells the story of Erich Hoyt's groundbreaking research into the lives of killer whales. In the 1970s, Hoyt and his colleagues spent seven summers studying these intelligent creatures in the waters off northern Vancouver Island.

The book dispels the negative mythology surrounding orcas, revealing their social behavior and helping to change public awareness about these animals. This revised edition includes Hoyt's original account, as well as new chapters that bring readers up to date on the latest research and discoveries.

Now a world-renowned expert on whales and dolphins, Erich Hoyt shares his extensive knowledge and experiences from decades of field study in the Russian Far East and return trips to Canada's West Coast. This book offers a unique insight into the lives of orcas and their habitats, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in marine life and conservation.
