About a century ago on the south coast of New South Wales, A patriarch Orca named Old Tom teamed his pod up with human whalers to decimate the local baleen whale population.
He co-operated with 3 generations of a human whaling family before he died a natural death.
His skeleton remains on display in the local museum to this day.
