Wildlife explorer Steve Backshall came face to face with two of the UK's last resident killer whales off the coast of Cornwall, marking one of his 'greatest British wildlife moments'. This could cause the west coast community to be infertile due to the high concentration. Killer whales can travel 100 miles a day. They are known to hunt harbour porpoises while killer whales around Shetland and Orkney hunt seals. A spokesman from the Cornwall Wildlife Trust said the sighting made for 'big wildlife news'.
