'It was joy': Trapped B.C. orca calf eats seal meat, putting rescue on hold

A rescue operation for a trapped orca calf in a BC lagoon has been paused as it began consuming seal meat thrown into the water, possibly for the first time.
Members of the Nuchatlaht First Nation fed the whale around 18 kilograms of seal, providing comfort and more time for a new rescue strategy.
The orca's consumption of seal meat could influence another rescue attempt, enhancing preparation time, according to Ehattesaht First Nation Chief Simon John.
