AustraliaThe article describes a newly observed behavior among orcas in the Gulf of California, where they 'ram-to-fragment' sunfish by colliding with them at high speed, resulting in the fish exploding into pieces. This behavior was captured on video by tourists in July 2024 and again in September 2025. The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Ethology, highlights the sophisticated coordination and intelligence involved in this hunting strategy. Orcas are noted for their diverse diets and specialized feeding techniques across different regions, including hunting seals, sea lions, white sharks, and even blue whales. The article emphasizes the complexity of orca social behavior and their adaptability in hunting strategies.
