Although in spring orcas patrol these coasts in search of elephant seal pups, they sometimes encounter adult sea lions and attempt strandings with them as well: during high tide, they propel themselves out of the water and hunt the animals on the shore.

In the spring, when elephant seal pups begin to enter the water, orcas approach the shores of Peninsula Valdes in search of food. Here, they practice a unique technique called stranding: when the tide is high, they propel themselves out of the water to catch the pups on the shore. Sometimes they succeed, and other times they don't...

After the breeding season in Peninsula Valdes, whales and their calves head south. On this journey, they may encounter orcas, and in these situations, the mother showcases her strength and courage to protect her calf.

Not much is known about this behaviour that has been recorded for the first time between the two largest males of Península Valdés.
This homosexual behaviour highlights the natural diversity in relationships and reminds us that nature is rich and complex in its expressions.
