Killer Whale Catnap Northern Vancouver Island: Scientific Name:
Orcinus orca
A yellow glow spans the sky at sunset, twinkling off the surface off the water off Northern Vancouver Island in British Columbia, while a Killer Whale decides to take a catnap. A Killer Whale has been seen taking short catnaps but has also been observed sleeping for periods of up to eight hours at a time.
Many studies have been done on why, when and how a Killer Whale sleeps, but the sleeping pattern or catnaps are still largely a mystery. Killer Whales have been caught taking a catnap at many different times throughout the day. There is no rhyme or reason to their pattern but it has been noted that while a Killer Whale is resting, they may swim along slowly making short dives of less than a minute each and then making a long dive which can be up to three minutes in length.
