Orka following a ship?
Why could a Killer Whale follow a ship?
A friend of mine told me a story about an orca, following his ship for 16 days during the course through Atlantic up to Gibraltar, where it turned back...
Only following, like playing, singing for all these nights, a "song" that was more like a baby cry...
I've heard that heavy ship noise could compromise the performance of some whales, but... to follow a ship for such a long period, in deep waters and for a single animal... is it typical? What the explanation could be?
Thanks!
