Download this free A2–B1 English worksheet PDF for English learners and teachers. This lesson is based on scientists filming unusual orca behaviour in the Gulf of California.

The worksheet is suitable for private English lessons, online classes, classroom teaching, homework and self-study.

This worksheet helps lower-level learners discuss animals, wildlife and surprising behaviour in accessible English. Students talk about whether they have seen large sea animals, whether they would like to go whale-watching, which animals they think are intelligent, and how wildlife tourism can help or harm animals.
The PDF includes a short A2–B1 reading text, True / False questions, Synonym Match, a task where students use new vocabulary, discussion questions and a full answer key.
