Why Nothing in the Ocean Is Safe from Orcas

Killer whales are not just powerful predators. They are strategic ones. Across fish, sharks, seals, and even whales, orcas use prey-specific hunting methods that are learned, shared, and refined over time. And in some cases, the evidence suggests that even other killer whales may not be off limits. In this video, we break down the science behind killer whale hunting: from cultural transmission and shark predation to whale kills, dolphin cooperation, infanticide, and the emerging evidence for cannibalism. Because the deeper you look into the killer whale… the more calculated it becomes. Got some spare cash?
