Scientists have identified a hidden divide among transient killer whales along the West Coast, splitting them into inner-coast and outer-coast subpopulations with different habitats and diets. This finding, based on 16 years of encounter data, challenges previous assumptions and calls for tailored conservation efforts. The groups rarely interact despite overlapping ranges from Southeast Alaska to southern California.
