The most contaminated wildlife on earth
Three pods of Killer Whales in the Pacific Northwest have now earned the most unfortunate title of being the most contaminated wildlife on earth, according to a new study.
These Killer Whales, known as Southern Residents, live in the coastal waters near the U.S. /Canadian border and survive almost exclusively on contaminated Chinook salmon.
The salmon contain high levels of polychlorinated biphenols (pcbs) and other industrial chemicals, which accumulate in even higher levels in the killer whales.
