Quotes by Eva Saulitis (?)

“There, two ecotypes of orca roam the same waters but never interact: residents—fish eaters, and transients—mammal eaters. (Later research would identify a third ecotype, offshores—shark eaters.)”
― Eva Saulitis, Into Great Silence: A Memoir of Discovery and Loss among Vanishing Orcas

“Alone I wandered between worlds, the objective world of species, natural history and names, and the subjective world of symbols and signs.”

“Eric Hoyt called orcas “sonic creatures.” Their universe is acoustic, while that of humans (unless blind), is primarily visual. Hoyt quoted the controversial researcher of captive dolphins, John Lilly. Lilly pondered the intelligence of whales and dolphins, whose brain morphology resembles that of humans. Lacking hands to construct or write with, whales, Lilly theorized, “may have taken the path of legends and verbal traditions.”
