I got a slight chuckle out of this. Still very sad for this poor whale! But thank you for the laugh.

Killer whales are actually found in all of the worlds oceans, though they definitely prefer colder waters. There are some populations in tropical waters but it’s not too common.

This helped answer a lot of the questions I had after seeing this.

I spent the first 25 years of my life in Florida and I would have been shocked to see a killer whale there. I was taught as a kid that they were arctic animals!

My friend is a news reporter in Florida on scene there, she said “FWC and Seaworld are recovering the body now. NOAA says it’s the first Killer Whale in history to wash up in the Southeast US. They’re going to necropsy to try and figure out why it’s here.”

This is sad to see. Hopefully it’s an isolated case.
