"Why I think orcas are better than us... I've never heard of an orca war." A Canadian museum exhibit about orcas - Orca Our Shared Future - splashes down at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. The museum's Mammalogist, Amanda Killian, and Skaana host Mark Leiren-Young (who wrote and consulted on the exhibit for the Royal BC Museum) dive into the wild world of orcas - their lives, their language, the way they evolved and how humans in LA relate to them. They also dive into the behind-the-scenes world of museums. The exhibit is running until April 25, 2027.
