Photo: Orca Whale Activity Spy Hopping

A Orca whale (Killer whale) spy hopping off northern Vancouver Island to see what is going on above the water, British Columbia.

A curious orca whale sticks his head above water, an activity called spy hopping, to check out what's happening above the water.

The activity of spy hopping is a typical behaviour of orca whales whether resident, transient, or off shore.
