Speaker: Hazel Pittwood

Hazel Pittwood looks at these attacks and other fascinating killer whale behaviours. Orca are an unmistakable icon of the ocean and the ultimate apex predator. From their complex social relationships to their intriguing behaviours, they are a fascinating species. Why are some orca ramming yachts? Why are others wearing salmon as hats? These and many other questions will form the basis of this educational and engaging talk.

Hazel Pittwood has over ten years of experience working as an observer, lecturer and wildlife guide specialising in whales and dolphins. Having watched whales in the Arctic, Antarctica and many places in between, she looks forward to sharing her knowledge of these awe-inspiring animals with you.
