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.

      Omg thank you for all the orca lore! I love these creatures so much, and everytime I learn something new, I’m reminded again of why I love them.

      You wouldn’t happen to have any more cool facts?
