Catt-Trax 2 - Whales - Comments http://blogs.bcit.ca/catttrax2/taxonomy/term/97 Comments for "Whales" en Gracias Coasties! http://blogs.bcit.ca/catttrax2/node/458#comment-273 <p>Hello and thanks for your comments, kind words and question!</p><p>The categories ´resident, transient and offshore´are used to describe different ´sub-populations´of Orca in the North Pacific Ocean. I don´t know if the Orca in Antarctica have been given unique names (like transient) but biologists do know that Orca in Antarctica feed on a variety of things including marine mammals, penguins as well as Patagonian Toothfish (they eat fish, birds and mammals). So... in answer to your question, yes, penquins should be afraid, as should the seals and fish! </p><p>I hope all is going well in the Coast program so far this term!</p><p>Cheers</p><p>Danny!</p><p>&#160;</p> Tue, 03 Apr 2007 14:11:48 -0700 Danny Catt comment 273 at http://blogs.bcit.ca/catttrax2 An Antarctic Symphony http://blogs.bcit.ca/catttrax2/node/458#comment-260 <font size="2"><p>Dear Mr. Catt</p><p>Thank you so much for answering our many questions and for making us feel welcome. You are a gracious host. The truth is we have to contain the enthusiasm and the questions from the Coast kids! :) We are astounded at the beauty of Antartica and of your photography! WOW!</p><p>Your text, especially about Antarctic ice, was very cool! :)  </p><p>We have seen Resident Killer Whales (salmon eaters) on the coast of British Columbia. Would the Killer Whale in your photo be a Transient (mammal eating) Killer Whale? Should penguins be afraid?</p><p>&quot;<font color="#000000"><font color="#009933">If Antarctica were music it would be Mozart</font>.&quot; - Andrew Denton</font></p><p><font color="#000000">Mr. Catt, you have helped us to hear the symphony! :)</font></p><p>The coasties<br /></p></font> Thu, 29 Mar 2007 13:08:11 -0700 K.
