The Nature and Parks Authority inspector, Eyal Miller, is following the axis of his movement at sea. Apparently, the killer came from the direction of Iceland, and at one point parted ways with his band and got in his way.

There is no excitement when it comes to the most significant ocean predator in the ocean. Ton. Such a thing is seen for a long time, if ever, in our area. "
