EXPEDITION KILLER WHALE ANNOUNCED FOR BBC TWO

This one off film is a fascinating deep dive into the complex hunting methods and communication techniques of the ocean’s greatest predator – the killer whale.

In a remote corner of Antarctica, a group of killer whales capture their prey in the most extraordinary fashion. But now these whales are under threat. A team of experts travel to the whales’ hunting grounds in a notoriously remote location in Antarctica.

It’s an unprecedented expedition – allowing unique access to these compelling animals. Using the latest technology, scientists and camera teams record everything they can about the killer whales, decoding the language they use to co-ordinate their hunting rituals and assessing their chances for survival in the modern world.

Expedition Killer Whale (1x60) was commissioned by Jack Bootle for BBC Two and iPlayer.
