Malt 379 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'd love to see that. Best I've seen local is a huge pod of porpoises just off the headlands by Stackpole. It seemed like there was at least a couple of hundred there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 23,824 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Never seen orca in the wild,but I was in the med earlier this year,was maybe 20 miles off-shore and saw a pod of 4 or 5 whales,I dont know the species though I hazard a guess at sperm-whales?I would have gotten much closer to them than I did but my mate started blubbering and kicking-off as he thought they would tip the boat over He got a bit hysterical Fantastic things to see in the wild Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Swam with wild loggerhead turtles when I was in Zante/Zakynthos when I was 18. Huge fecking things when you're swimming a few feet away from them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bringthepain 39 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Aren't they only found in really cold waters? Could that be a sign of a harsh winter on its way???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 23,824 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Theres only two places I want to visit,one is easter island,the other is flame-beach patagonia when at certain times of the year you can watch pods of orcas,normally the same families visit the beach each year,they actually chase sea-lions onto the beach,running up deep-water channels and beaching themselves at times to grab a sea-lion pup,my youngest son wants to go to chase the sea-lions into the water for the whales Quote Link to post Share on other sites
