We call them “killer” whales, but these magnificent and graceful beings are the most social and self-aware creatures roaming the oceans. Orcas: Our Shared Future looks beneath the surface reveal interesting facts about their biology and ecology, their importance for Indigenous Peoples and how they are portrayed in popular culture.
Visitors will uncover the hidden lives and complex societies of these powerful and intelligent apex predators that rule over the oceans to discover our shared history and future with them. They will dive in, learn which orca populations are thriving and which are at risk, and resurface with a new understanding of how orcas and humans are inextricably connected: We are all a part of nature, not apart from nature.
