Many of the sperm whales in the pod were left with “extensive injuries,” while one was killed, the study said.“Approximately 12 killer whales were initially involved in the hunt, but this number increased to an estimated 35 killer whales spread out over 3 km.

Princess of Wales with her three children. As it turns out, she clumsily edited a family photo hurriedly taken by her husband and put it out on social media. The image was promptly scrutinised by millions of eyes and many embarrassing errors were pointed out, leading to its withdrawal by major news agencies. She issued a statement owning up to the careless editing attempt but ended up stoking even more malicious and wild speculation about not only her health but also her marriage.

That is what probably prompted the Waleses to post that hasty photo even though the princess is recuperating from surgery and may not have felt like getting dressed up (even in jeans and jacket) to be photographed.
