Killer whales: Orcas blow fish to bits 'for fun', study finds

A recent study has found that killer whales, or orcas, engage in behavior where they blow fish into pieces, seemingly for enjoyment rather than necessity. This behavior was observed during research on orca hunting patterns and social interactions. Scientists suggest this activity might serve as play or a form of practice for young orcas learning to hunt. The findings contribute to understanding orca behavior and their complex social structures.
