A decades-old orca was recently attacked in the Strait of Gibraltar, sustaining at least ten pellet wounds. Spanish authorities are currently investigating the incident and working to identify those responsible for the assault on the marine mammal. The orca, estimated to be around 60 years old, represents a significant individual within the local pod. This attack raises concerns about increasing aggression towards these protected animals and the need for stricter enforcement of wildlife protection laws. Authorities have not released details regarding the orca’s current health status, but are monitoring the situation closely. The investigation is ongoing, and officials are appealing for any information related to the incident.
