Photo: Transient Killer Whale Habitat

The killer whale habitat extends to all the oceans of the world as well as some seas. Transient killer whales are often seen off the coast of British Columbia in Canada.

Transient killer whales are sometimes referred to as the Bigg's killer whale, named in honour of Michael Bigg - a Canadian Marine Biologists who pioneered research on Killer whales. The Transient killer whale feeds almost exclusively on other marine mammals and the coastal waters of British Columbia are the perfect habitat for this whale's prey.
