Orca With Heart Shaped Mark Caught on Camera

This killer whale was spotted with an usual heart-shaped marking!
An underwater photographer snapped a stunning series of images that show an orca with a perfect heart-shaped marking on its back.
Andy Schmid, from Zurich, Switzerland, spotted the orca with the heart-shaped saddle patch in Skjverøy, Norway. He says that the whale came swimming towards him, after feasting on some herring, before showing off this beautiful love heart-shaped marking.
Andy added: “The orca slapped a few herring with his fluke and then turned right in front of me, presenting his perfectly heart-shaped saddle patch for a brief moment.”
“Wildlife photography is mostly opportunistic, especially underwater, meaning that as an underwater photographer, I try to capture whatever presents itself in front of me.”
