E13: Enchanted by Orca

Whales-online speaks with Erich Hoyt an author, conservationist, scientist and wise elder for many in the conservation world.

Uniquely blending conservation with writing, Erich is an award-winning author, with 15 books and hundreds of magazine articles on whales, dolphins, as well as ants, insects, wild plants and other subjects under his belt. He is a long-time member of many the Writers' Societies and Guilds as well as Scientific bodies focusing on Marine Mammals.

Erich directs the first orca study in Kamchatka, and we explore the journey that lead him to a long term study of these animals which has uncovered some interesting knowledge about orca behavior, their relationships and the sophistication of their culture.
