Newport Coastal Adventure, and Crew/Photographer Mark Girardeau:
A unique sighting was captured off the coast of Newport beach Sunday.
About 40 false killer whales that swam and jumped alongside a Newport Coastal Adventure boat.
False killer whales are a species of oceanic dolphin. They are called false killer whales because they look like orcas -- all black about 20-feet long and weight on average 3,000 pounds.
The whale-watching company says it’s a rare sight because they normally stick to more tropical warmer waters.
Newport Coast Adventure says the last sighting of false killer whales off the coast was in 2019.
