A group of whale watchers spotted an unlikely sea visitor swimming alongside a killer whale during an outing off the coast of Washington state Sunday.
As a whale named Cooper breached the water’s surface showing off its dorsal, the tiny head of a deer poked out of the ocean as it swam near Battleship Island in the San Juan Archipelago, a photo captured by one of the onlookers shows.
“At Battleship Island, we met up with a lone male Cooper the killer whale,” the Pacific Whale Watch Association wrote of the sighting in a daily report. “We didn’t realize it at the time, but our photos revealed he swam right past a black-tailed deer!!! What are the odds of that?”A deer was spotted swimming by an orca off the coast of Battleship Island in the San Juan Archipelago Sunday.
Nearly 400 killer whales call the waters off Washington and British Columbia home, according to the PWWA. Last year alone, there were more than 35,000 sightings of whales and other marine wildlife reported to the organization by professional whale watchers and other experts.
