On September 30, 2002, in collaboration with National Geographic, we deployed a suction-cup attached Crittercam system on a false killer whale off the island of Hawai‘i. This individual, HIPc555, was a juvenile from Cluster 2 of the endangered main Hawaiian Islands population. Below are some clips of the footage from this deployment. While we did not get any footage of them foraging at depth, our original hope, we did get a view into their life underwater.
