Killers In Eden: The Story Of A Rare Partnership Between Men And Killer Whales

From Baird Maritime

Whaling is now so socially unacceptable and politically incorrect as to be hardly worth discussing. However, for nearly a century from 1828 a remarkable form of whaling activity took place at Twofold Bay in south-east Australia.

In a classic symbiotic relationship, the shore-based whalers of Eden teamed with a pod of killer whales to make a highly effective humpback whale hunting machine.

It's a fascinating and probably unique story well told by an experienced behavioural zoologist.
