A pod of orcas appeared off San Onofre in Orange County this week and provided a show for one of the whale-watch boats' underwater cameras.

Slide show at the Orange County Register website.

The Register says this group of about a dozen animals is "thought to be the Eastern Tropical Pacific orcas that normally live in Mexican waters."
