For a lucky group of whale watchers Monday, a pod of at least 10 of the distinctive black-and-white whales - including two calves - made an appearance off Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Most of the orcas that come through Southern California waters are "transient" orcas, also known as Bigg's orcas. Askari said, however, the pod seen Monday was probably Eastern Tropical Pacific orcas and hailed from the coast of Mexico.
