The resident orcas of Península Valdés are unique in the world because they have developed an spectacular hunting strategy to adapt to local coastal conditions. They use this successful technique called “intentional stranding” to catch sea lions and elephant seal´s pups off the beach.
The most known individuals are the ones who frequently visit the public viewpoints of Punta Norte in the northern area of Valdés, but there is not information about the ones who do not go to those places. To understand the behaviour and relationship between all the members of this -so particular- orca population it is crucial to identify and track the animals of the eastern and southern coast as well.
