Researchers from the New England Aquarium spotted a group of four killer whales during an aerial survey off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Sunday. Killer whales are more commonly seen in areas surrounding the Arctic ice-edge and the Caribbean. The last sighting of an orca in Massachusetts waters was in May 2022. Meanwhile, a pod of about 30 killer whales was spotted in California's Monterey Bay on Sunday, made up of 11 families, including six orcas from Canada.
