Marine biologist and cinematographer Juan Higuera has dedicated years to studying a specific pod of killer whales off the coast of Mexico. His observations have provided significant insights into the social structure and predatory strategies of these remarkable marine mammals.

Killer whales, also known as orcas, are known for their sophisticated hunting techniques, which can sometimes appear as coordinated attacks. The pod followed by Higuera has displayed such complex behavior, which includes corralling schools of fish or strategically taking turns to chase and wear down larger prey like seals or even other whales.

Higuera's work involves capturing these interactions on film, which provides not only crucial data for scientific research but also striking visuals that help raise awareness about marine life and the importance of ocean conservation. His dedication to these animals highlights their intelligence and the intricate social bonds that govern their interactions.

Through his films and studies, Higuera aims to draw attention to the challenges these animals face, such as pollution, loss of prey species, and climate change, which are altering their marine environments. His continued efforts to monitor this pod of killer whales contribute significantly to our understanding of their behavior and the broader ecological dynamics of the ocean ecosystems they inhabit.
