video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The killer whales have identified their prey - a grey whale and her newborn calf, in this amazing clip Aleksandar: They do Shawn, But first these intelligent animals attempt to rend their prey vulnerable by other means;
For Example,
They will group up and make waves to knock a seal off an ice berg, then disorientate it by using their fluke to make turbulence and they may also blow bubbles before nipping it by its tail to go in for the kill.
They will do the same for other sea Mammals, rays, tuna.
Have a look around Youtube, You can find many videos of them eating things with their teeth

my guess is 1 they have very rounded teeth which make it very difficult to bite off large chunks of meant, second they have weak jaws compaired to the size of their body and a strong attack involving biting pieces off large creatures could well break there jaw bones or rip there tendons etc etc.

I find it very hard to watch things like this I think its so cruel. Mother and baby didnt even have a chance. As for the photographer He sure knows his job I sure admire them its a wonder he didnt get hurt. Yes the photographers in all these programmes they are amazing the best.

Killer Whales are known as Wolves of the Sea. They hunt in packs up to 3-4 members. They can have up to 6 calves before they reach 40 years old. They can live up to 50-80 years in the wild. They kill basically anthing in the sea, even sharks.

I noticed attenborough & BBC in general dont show many animal kills anymore. If you see the ful clip, this calf was a not only killed by the killer whale pod, they only ate its tongue & left the rest of it.

They must be quite intelligent these killer-whales. Obviously they realize the difference between fish and seawater mammals. drowning the prey doesn't quite work when hunting fish.
reply

after 6 hrs of hunting. the orcas drowned the calf and only ate its jaw and tongue. the film producer called it a pretty harrowing experience the clip is floating around here somewhere

The circle of life is hard to watch sometimes! Orcas are my favorite Apex predator! So family Oriented, love to watch them hunt! God bless all the animals on earth including us!
