A Denman Island family had some Sunday evening excitement, watching from their home as a pod of orcas came hunting for food.
鈥淒inner time on Denman last night as a group of orcas attacked a family of river otters in front of our deck,鈥� said Lawrence Justrabo in a Monday morning Facebook post. 鈥淎t least one missing otter, maybe more. Some survived. Once in a lifetime footage provided by an ever lucky 17-year-old who always seems to be in the right place at the right time.鈥�
鈥淚 saw him eat the otter, yeah,鈥� a female voice can be heard while the video plays. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think they (otters) were all there, I think one of the parents still has the babies. I did see one come in earlier, I think it was going out for food again鈥� but it obviously will not be coming back鈥hat was awful.鈥�
The Record has reached out to the Justrabo family for additional comment.
