From: Fine-scale foraging movements by fish-eating killer whales (Orcinus orca) relate to the vertical distributions and escape responses of salmonid prey (Oncorhynchus spp.)

Fig. 2

Three-dimensional reconstructions of three foraging dives by northern resident killer whales. Panels (a) (V-shaped dive profile) and (c) (U-shaped dive profile with maintained ~90° off-axis roll position at the bottom of the dive) are side views of Chinook salmon captures at depth, while (b) is an aerial view of a surface chase resulting in a chum salmon capture. Red dots represent the probable locations and times of fish captures. Yellow portions of the track indicate when the whale rolled sideways >40° in either direction, while blue portions indicate roll <40°
