三十多头虎鲸现身圣迭戈近海围猎长须鲸

2026年10月23日星期五,三十多头虎鲸出现在加利福尼亚州圣迭戈县的圣迭戈近海,围猎一头长须鲸,相关画面于10月24日陆续公布,引发海洋爱好者关注。据现场船只记录,这群来自东热带太平洋海域的虎鲸平日多在南下加利福尼亚与加利福尼亚湾一带活动,以猎食海豚为主,但成群出动时也能制服体型远大于自己的鲸类。长须鲸是体型仅次于蓝鲸的第二大鲸种,此次被围猎的是一头体型较小的个体。画面显示,虎鲸群把猎物带到139英尺长的历史帆船美国号旁边,其中一头虎鲸在船边探出水面,做出类似观察船上乘客的动作,船长多梅尼克·比亚吉尼在视频中提前说出一句一点钟方向可能出现探头,随后这一幕果然发生。就在六天前,另一小群同类虎鲸也在圣迭戈近海猎杀过一头较大的长须鲸。组织方表示,10月24日星期六还将有多艘船只出海寻找这群虎鲸,继续观察它们的动向。
More Than 30 Orcas Hunt a Fin Whale off San Diego
On Friday, October 23, more than 30 orcas appeared off San Diego, in San Diego County, California, hunting a fin whale, and footage released on October 24 drew wide attention from ocean enthusiasts. According to boats on the scene, this Eastern Tropical Pacific population of orcas usually ranges around Baja California and the Gulf of California and feeds mainly on dolphins, but in a large group it can also take down whales far bigger than itself. The fin whale is the second-largest whale species after the blue whale, and the one hunted this time was a smaller individual. Footage shows the pod driving its prey alongside the 139-foot historic sailing vessel Yacht America, where one orca spyhopped at the rail as if observing the passengers; Captain Domenic Biagini can be heard in the video predicting a spyhop at one o'clock just before it happened. Only six days earlier, another smaller group of the same orcas had killed a larger fin whale off San Diego. Operators said several boats would head out again on Saturday, October 24, to look for the pod and keep observing it.
