The Astral Legacies: The Orcas’ Song

Orcas, or killer whales, play an important role in Maori tradition. It is said that they guided the canoes on their great journeys to New Zealand. There are old stories in which orcas rescue people. But sometimes, in modern stories, human beings rescue orcas. Many tales are tribal myths and legends. The Orcas’ Song, however, is a science fiction story.

What stories or films on orcas or other whales do you know?

In the story The Orca's Song, Marshall's mother studies the Orca's underwater language. Think of other ways of animal communication. Name three types of animals and write down how the communicate with each other.
