Killer whale surrounded by drift ice, unable to be seen and ``escaped'' off the coast of Rausu Town, Hokkaido. On the 6th, a pod of more than 10 orcas was photographed by a drone taken by a private company that was conducting research on sea lions and other animals.
Professor Mari Kobayashi of the Tokyo University of Agriculture said that there were also baby killer whales in the group. "I don't think they can leave children with poor swimming skills behind," he said.
