• Toothed vs baleen whales
• Stories of orcas taking ecological vengeance into their own hands
• Discussing the concept of empathy in non-human mammals

Sarah’s Note: The Bloop originated at roughly 50°S and 100°W, while Cthulu lies sleeping at 47°9’S 126°43’W, less than 1800km apart. Yeah, R’lyeh!
