Its tongue weighs as much as an elephant and its heart is the size of a car. Some of its blood vessels are so wide that a human could swim down them. This is the largest animal that has ever lived, and yet absolutely nothing is known about where it goes to breed.

It attracts thousands of cape gannets, hundreds of bronze whaler sharks and thousands of common dolphins. As the predators gorge, the dolphins work together and release walls of air bubbles that corral the sardines into tight bait-balls for an easy catch. A Bryde’s whale appears and polishes off the feast. Every evening, as the sun sets, the largest migration on the planet takes place in the oceans. One thousand million tonnes of deep sea creatures journey up towards the surface in search of food. For a few days each year, a squid spectacle is seen off the Californian …

Why do they do this? Eating their prey, I presume? Or some other competitive reason.
The slang term is killer whale (actually it whale killer), their actual name is ORCA!
Unlike humans other species kill for survival unlike humans that kill in the name of SPORTS!
It may be very difficult to watch a baby being killed to ensure the survival of another species, but it is the natural of survival!
Humans sit and ambush their victims, than spend a ton of money having it’s head mounted on a wall then sit around drinking beer bragging about what a thrill it was to killed!
you spelt son wrong quote: Killer whales Eat sun of grey whale (6 hrs fighting)
