Description

Edwar Herreno’s photograph of a mother killer whale teaching her calf captures a complex and striking moment in the marine world.

In the image, the mother is teaching her calf how to hunt sharks, highlighting the close bond between them and the transmission of crucial survival skills. However, this serene scene takes a darker turn, as Herreno witnessed the mother killer whale killing a pregnant shark and removing the fetus from her body, offering it to her calf as a plaything.

The image portrays the killer whale calf playing with the shark fetus, an unsettling sight that juxtaposes the tenderness of the mother-calf relationship with the brutal reality of their hunting practices. Herreno’s photograph of a mother killer whale teaching offers a rare and candid glimpse into the harsh and intricate dynamics of marine life.
