KETCHIKAN -- Whale researchers say it was highly unusual for a killer whale to bump a 12-year-old boy splashing in shallow water near Ketchikan.
Ellis Miller found himself face-to-face with an orca charging at him in 4 feet of water Saturday in Helm Bay. The animal, estimated to be more than 25 feet long, bumped but did not bite him.
'I looked underwater and there was this huge head right in front of me,' Ellis told the Ketchikan Daily News."
