On a recent trip we took to Mag Bay with @latitude.encounters we came across a mola mola, the largest bony fish in the world. It was our first time seeing this fish and it’s always an amazing day on the water when you see a new species for the first time.

A scientific research paper has just been published about an extraordinary event we were fortunate to witness firsthand. A pod of five killer whales hunted and fed on the largest fish in the ocean, a whale shark.

This rare encounter offers valuable insight into these apex predators and the unique hunting techniques of this particular pod.
