Video footage shows INTENSE moment killer whales attack their prey!
Not much remains on the prey after the killer whales were through with it..
Killer whales don’t just target preys smaller than their selves.
On the coast of California, A grey whale and her newborn calf are in serious danger.
Once again, as seen in the video posted by BBC World Wide, computer images gave the underwater view of an extraordinary hunt.
The grey whale calf in the video was just a few weeks old. It is seen following its mother to north towards the summer feeding grounds in Alaska.
They have reached Monterey Bay where a deep trench cuts in from the sea. As they move beyond the trench wall, the grey whales started to lose their cover.
Out in the bay, the killer whales are listening for the sound of possible preys. When they have spotted their prey, immediately, their behaviors changes.
The killer whales attack closely together, just like a hunting wolf pack.
Seen in the video, narrated by David Attenborough, the killer whales have caught up on the mother and her calf.
And from that moment, the chase is on.
The great whales are trying their best to out swim their attackers. Fast swimming pushes up the great whale’s breathing capacity. The breathless calf became easier to catch.
While the grey whales struggle to save their lives, the killer whales work together as a team. Their first goal was to separate the mother from its baby.
The mother grey whale can seriously harm the killer whale with just one slap of her massive tale.
One of the attackers pushes in between the mother and the calf.
As seen in the video, the killer whales’ strategy is working. The grey whales were forced apart.
After the grey whales were separated, the killer whales changed their strategy. Now, their goal was to drown the calf.
