Frightened sailors have told of the shocking moments their boats have been attacked by orcas spotted hundreds of miles out of their traditional waters.
Terrified teams on yachts have spotted adolescent male orcas - known as killer whales - north of their usual homes around the waters of Spain.
These particular delinquent orcas - the largest member of the dolphin family - are from a small group, originally identified in the Strait of Gibraltar that feeds on the big tuna entering and leaving the Mediterranean.
