I figured it was a bit hyperbolic, but they seriously sploded them. I have to wonder sometimes how these behaviors first get discovered, from the orca perspective that is.

    Ayres and colleagues have dubbed this new behavior "ram-to-fragment."

    That's my band's name

    After the sunfish has shattered, the orcas frolic in and feed on the fragments of its flesh.

    Metal AF

    Read to the end, another video

    "Such is the life of such a big, defenseless fish. On good days, you might become a hat. On bad days, you might become confetti."

    Not gonna lie, if you read the article (other orcas wearing sunfish as a hat, others cooperating to raise one above the surface and keep it there while alive, for shits and giggles), that's not the ocean that is terrifying, Orcas are hella human-like, I'd say
