    • Abstract:
      A new subpopulation of killer whales, known as "oceanics," has been discovered off the coast of California and Oregon. These orcas have unique hunting habits and primarily hunt in the open ocean, targeting various prey such as leatherback turtles, elephant seals, dolphins, and sperm whales. In Canada, the use of strychnine, a powerful poison, has been banned after causing the deaths of numerous animals, including non-targeted species. Toronto has seen the return of nesting bald eagles, indicating successful restoration efforts and the rebound of their population. Windsor-Essex is home to a significant number of juvenile sturgeon, a species that was once decimated but is now being bred and released into the Detroit River. Climate change is causing jellyfish populations to migrate to Arctic waters, which is leading to changes in the marine food web as other species adapt to this new food source.
