#Orcas covered in scars left by #CookiecutterSharks may be new population https://phys.org/news/2024-03-orcas-scars-left-cookiecutter-sharks.html

"A key clue to the new population's presumed habitat range lies in #CookiecutterShark bite scars observed on almost all the orcas. This parasitic #shark lives in the open ocean, meaning the new population primarily inhabit deep waters far from land. Cookiecutter #sharks attach to the orcas, eventually leaving behind small, circular scars that were observed in photos of the #animals."
