A stunned sailor captured rare footage as a pod of orcas all breached off the coast of Scotland on April 29th.
Craig Palmer, 36, was en route to an offshore wind farm when the killer whales surfaced near Aberdeen — a first in his 15 years at sea.
“It was an unbelievable experience,” said Craig, who shared the footage via his TikTok account.
Orcas are rarely seen in UK waters, with only eight known individuals in the critically endangered 'West Coast Community'.
The video has since gone viral, delighting marine life enthusiasts across social media.
