The Sneaky Way Orcas Hunt Seals

[@naturepbs]

Curious how Orcas hunt without bothering humans? We've got the answer for you: to.pbs.org/2AC0J5R

[@leonleon2276]

Well we know they hunt humans when you keep them in captivity like locked up circus chickens in a pen

Seal survival tip #212 - Sunbathe next to a fatter and slower seal than you.

[@Yetiiii]

it's tip #1

[@MarioMartinez-tt9ly]

Meanwhile gazelles and lions watching this video saying to themselves hold our beer.

[@shaneyaw4542]

A little known strategy that animals from almost every species employ when under attack by predators is to sacrifice the infants, the sick, and the elderly by pushing them to the edge of the herd. Fatter animals probably were better fed and thus healthier and more inclined to push weaker animals into the pathway of the predators. Thus, your statement concerning the decredited social darwinism is not correct.

[@DisHammerhand]

yeah because they're in a group while great whites are alone. one on one i don't think they stood a chance

[@TheWalterSamuel21]

@@libertarianboy1453 Sharks are dumb af, Orcas will never put themselves at risks going 1vs1, thats why they hunt in groups.

[@inamokamokaina4113]

@@libertarianboy1453 even when it comes to a 1v1 situation, the orca probbably will turn the shark upside down since the orcas know that the weakness of sharks is when you turn them upside down because they eat the liver of the great whites, and the power and the speed and intellegence of the orca are way to much compared to a great white which are dumb and the orcas are the true apex predators in the ocean meaning nothing comes after them

[@rea8585]

Good for orcas, but I can't help but feel sorry for poor seals...

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

The seals, themselves, hunt fish. The fish hunt other fish and probably crustaceans and mollusks. There are many potential layers for one's sympathy.

[@kayehenry3737]

Yes. The orcas have to eat, and their prey is seals. The seals have to eat, and their prey is fish and other other animals. But all this _actual_ killing is in the service of furthering the lives of critical parts of an ecosystem. Why do humans feel the need for _figurative_ killing of fellow humans by trolling, threats, insults? I have taken a break from that senseless cruelty to watch pure nature at work. It's a balm to my spirit.

[@tormarquis]

Your bleeding heart is why the seals are overpopulation California coastal waters, eating all the fish that humans don't get. Feel sorry for the orcas?

Nothing sneaky about that....... they cornered the prey, then simply used their size to disorientate it.

THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE

[@marief4640]

Is it just me or does anyone else think that the seals look like a moving sausage? No wonder the killer whales want to eat them. Especially when the seals think they can out swim or outmaneuver a bunch of killer whales. If we humans thought out things before acting out like how these killer whales do. I think we would be a whole lot more advanced than what we currently are.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

They go to the supermarket, muscle their way through rush hour shoppers to the seal counter, take what they want while scowling at everyone and just walk out without paying. They may be sneaky but they're not subtle

[@DarthMalgusSith_Lord]

Even Great White Shark, when the Orcas enter their Hunting Spot, even briefly. The Shark just immediately flee from the area, they wouldn’t even return to that spot even after a months or years

[@ShiningGalaxy01]

@blöd I don't see you referring seals as sea bastards, since seals kill porpoises, and baby dwarf sperm whales, but don't eat them, just as Transient Orcas do. There are even accounts of seals killing people in the wild, while not once has an orca ever killed a person in the wild.

[@dongray6834]

Food taste so much better and is more appreciated when you hunt for it. Instead of just going to the market, some fast food place or given to you.

[@wolfganghuhn7747]

Beautiful killers, just remember all our pets are vicious predators 😆
