Awesome and touching

This is my absolute favorite book on orcas. I have read it three times. I bought it years ago at the Vancouver Aquarium while visiting the whales in the area and never tire of re-reading it. One of the the things I like are the appendices which list data on the whales. I wish Erich Hoyt would write a second volume or update it again! If you love orcas you will love this book.

This is by far the best book on orca that is out there so far. Informative, enthralling and captivating. If you are not already an orca lover you will be after this...and you will want more...for Erich and friends to report the latest. I have read it three times...and continue to go back and re-read and highlight sections. This book also has appendix containing interesting info on captive whales all over the world. I just wish Hoyt would update soon!
