Orcas are “exploding” fish for fun — scientists have recorded unusual behavior among the “killer whales” The animals accelerate to incredible speeds and ram ocean sunfish with such force that the fish literally burst apart and scatter into pieces. Biologists believe there are several possible explanations: it could be... show more

Orcas are assholes. They also throw seals around for fun and kill them for sport.

This looks very intense. Have orcas been eating dolphins for food or for fun? I must say, since dolphins have had instances of dragging people further into oceans to rape them, this is a pretty fabulous revenge. Nature takes care of everything.

Orcas have been acting strange for a while. Ramming boats and eating shark livers. Dangerous creature!

Isn't sunfish like mostly tasteless stuff. While meat and organs sit deep inside?

Nature never stops surprising us. Whether it's hunting, teaching younger orcas, or play behavior, it's a fascinating reminder of just how intelligent and powerful these animals are. 🐋

Oh, Orcas. Since I associate you with news on Ukraine, I initially thought you meant „orcs” = Russian soldiers.

A group of orcas was captured on camera engaging in what scientists call "ram-to-fragment" behavior. One whale holds a large sunfish and lets go just before another rams it at high speed, pulverizing the fish into thousands of pieces. In a new study, scientists say the behavior could be a clever way to feed the young, a form of play, or a combination of both. Read more:

An orca has been captured smashing into a sunfish in the Gulf of California. Researchers believe the killing technique could help orcas feed their young - or be a form of entertainment.

Russians are terrorizing killer whales with calves for the sake of photos In Avacha Bay in Kamchatka, tourist boats and helicopters are massively chasing killer whales, interfering with their hunting and rest. The animals are being surrounded from several sides at once, causing them severe stress.

The only animals that make orcas run away: 1. Humpback whales — they crash orca hunts, slap them with massive barnacle-covered flippers, and often drive them off (even when the prey isn’t another humpback). 2. Sperm whales — size + the “marguerite” defensive formation (heads in, tails out). 3. Long-finned pilot whales — smaller dolphin relatives that charge orcas and can make them flee from sound alone. Apex predators… until these show up.

This eagle caught a fish that probably weighs more than it does. Apart from the weight of the fish, the weight of the water on its wings, incredible and brutal the force.

Killer Whales: The Ocean’s Unchallenged Rulers Who Never Hunt Humans In the icy waters of Antarctica, a pod of Type B1 killer whales suddenly surrounded a small zodiac boat. One after another, they rose vertically from the water, staring straight into the camera lens just a few meters away. Their cold eyes, massive bodies, and distinctive yellowish tint from the frigid seas sent a chill through anyone watching. Yet they did not attack. They simply observed, then quietly swam away. The name “killer whale” does not come from any history of killing people. Centuries ago, European sailors and whalers watched these black-and-white pods work together to bring down enormous whales. They called them “whale killers.” When the phrase was translated into English, it was reversed into “killer whales.” Their scientific name, Orcinus orca, is even more striking: Orcinus derives from Orcus, the Roman god of the underworld and death. In other languages they are known as “assassin whales,” “blubber choppers,” or “the feared ones.” All of these names reflect their position at the very top of the food chain—not any danger they pose to humans. In the wild, there has never been a confirmed fatal attack on a human by a free-ranging killer whale. They may occasionally bite a surfer in a black wetsuit, mistaking them for a seal, or ram the rudders of sailboats out of curiosity, but humans have never been part of their diet. The reason lies in their intelligence and culture. Each orca pod specializes in particular prey over generations—fish, seals, penguins, or even sharks. Humans simply do not appear in those hunting traditions. The whales recognize the difference and choose observation over attack. Yet once they enter their underwater realm, killer whales become absolute masters. They have no natural predators. They can hunt everything from small fish to blue whales, and they have repeatedly taken down great white sharks—the animals once regarded as the ocean’s supreme predators. Off the coast of South Africa, famous orcas such as Port and Starboard have systematically killed great whites solely for their energy-rich livers. In one documented case, a single orca ended the life of a young great white in under two minutes. In the Gulf of California, pods have been recorded flipping sharks onto their backs to induce tonic immobility before extracting the liver. As a result, many former great-white strongholds now stand empty, triggering cascading changes throughout the ecosystem. The Type B1 orcas in this video are a vivid example of this specialization. Living among the pack ice of Antarctica, they developed the remarkable “wave-washing” technique: the entire pod swims in coordinated formation to generate powerful waves that wash seals off ice floes into the water. Spyhopping—raising the head above the surface to look around—is their visual reconnaissance before an attack. When they applied the exact same behavior to the zodiac boat, viewers understood clearly: these animals possess more than enough power to do whatever they wish. Yet they choose not to. That is the terrifying beauty of the killer whale. They represent a perfect fusion of primal strength, high intelligence, and absolute self-control. The name “killer” is not meant to threaten us; it honors their unchallengeable status in the ocean.

.David Deutsch: Everyone can and should be a scientist, because being a scientist just means wanting to understand the world and using the only method of doing so that works, namely, to be puzzled, to be mistaken, to guess how one might be mistaken and how the grand authorities who can't imagine that they could be mistaken often are, and not to be satisfied with bad explanations, one's own or anyone's, that is, explanations that could have otherwise and you'd be none the wiser. That's the critical attitude. It's the only access to reality that we have. Use it. It's fun.
