Orcas are known to be smart and ruthless hunters. They've been observed hunting a variety of prey, with some species, such as whales, larger than themselves. They use a wide range of strategies to hunt and kill prey, but now, in the Gulf of California, researchers have observed one that hasn't been described before.

      To be fair, I don’t think there was anything going on in the sunfish’s head.

    Killer whales truly are the homo sapiens of the sea. They are intelligent, co-operate creatures with an insatiable apetite for cruelty.
