🔊What’s that sound Wednesday?? 🤔

Can you guess which marine animal makes this ocean sound as part of their vocal repertoire?

We will give you a hint…it’s not a whale! ⁦@ORCA_Ireland⁩

(6/-) Orcas talk to their newborn calves. Orcas can produce a range of vocalisations for communication, navigation and hunting prey. #WorldOrcaDay #WorldOrcaDay22 #ORCAIreland #Orcas #killerwhales

[ORCA_N.I. @ORCA_NI]

(1/-) Happy #WorldOrcaDay!

Did you know that globally there are only 50,000 orcas!

To put that in perspective there are 5.1 million people living in Ireland in 2022!
