Orca spotted swimming with dolphins off Cape Cod
PROVINCETOWN - A Cape Cod fishing crew witnessed an awesome sight in the waters off Provincetown on Sunday: A killer whale swimming alongside dolphins.
Christopher Simon says the crew of the Simonsez was fishing for tuna in the Stellwagen Bank when Captain Kevin Simon spotted a "large fin" among the pod of dolphins.
"His team quickly realized what it was and moved in to get a closer look," Christopher Simon tells WBZ-TV.
The crew shared photos and videos of the orca to Instagram.
