“The signals from satellite tags installed on the fins of killer whales report that animals have already sailed about 100 kilometers since their release. Killer whales are moving in the direction of the Shantar Islands, ”said Smorodov.

He noted that this is "exactly the area where they were caught and where their family may be located" and added that the killer whales "did not lose their natural skills while they were at the adaptation center."

Earlier it was reported that the specialists of the All-Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography released into the natural environment two killer whales and six belugas from the Medium Bay.
