Orca hits sunfish causing explosion
Researchers have documented a new feeding behavior among orcas involving high-speed ramming to explode large sunfish in the Mexican Pacific Ocean and Gulf of California. Observations show orcas working in pairs to hold and then violently slam sharptail sunfish, causing them to break apart, potentially for feeding or play. This behavior, previously unrecorded, may also serve to share remains among the pod and strengthen social bonds, with some evidence suggesting it may be performed for entertainment rather than immediate nutritional gain.
