The orcas that hit a fish so hard it exploded (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Orcas are famous for their intelligence, but a newly documented hunting behaviour has left scientists stunned. Researchers in the Gulf of California observed killer whales deliberately ramming one of the world's heaviest fish with such force that it fragmented into pieces. Was this simply an unusual feeding strategy, or could it be a way of teaching the next generation? In this episode, we unpack the evidence behind one of the most extraordinary predator behaviours ever recorded.
