It showed the Killer Whale would grab the stingray by the long tail and hold it while another whale would come and eat it from the front. Total team work.

their skin is tough, the barbs don't really hurt them, we've caught them with bards stuck in their mouths.

Yes, did they survive the crushing weight on their lungs while beached, Sitka?

According to the guide on a whale watching tour out of Victoria, there are two species of Orca. One feeds on salmon, the other feeds on seals...and anything else it can get hold of.

Not two different species, just two different eating styles they stick to very completely. Some pods eat fish and fish only, other pods eat marine mammals only.

Coolest orca story I know happened in the Petersburg AK harbor. A pod of orcas pushed a pod of dolphins into the harbor. There are two entrances and several whales went ahead to guard the far pass while the main pod chased the dolphins into the trap. Some remained at the entrance to keep them from escaping. The main body proceeded to destroy the dolphins and turn the harbor blood red.

The best part though was the huge bull sea lion in the harbor (cannot remember what they named him) that was always aggressive and confrontational toward people and boats. He hid up under the dock and did not come out for a week. He came out a meeker, milder and more gentle lion...

Could very well be released whales and a former trainer.

unless you name them Tilikum and keep them in a tank at Seaworld


Not a single instance in nature, only after keeping a very intelligent animal in a small pool for their whole lives. Orcas are too smart to be penned up.
