Orcas usually don't hunt for adult whale's, but they hunt for the babies, orca's would never hunt fully grown whale if they have other option, its the very last option they have, even a young humback was big big big work for em, otherwise, pilot whale's are so territorial, they will chase other pod of orca's or etc(especially orca's idk why), there's also humpback whales that is will chasing and attack pod's of orca's because of the traumatized they were of losing Their baby(orca's take it), they will also chase,attack,and offering protection to other animal such a seal,dolphin etc from orca's hunt. They're really are an intelligent animal.
Orcas yes hunt pilot whales but its extremely rare for that to happen and Pilot whales are in huge groups almost entirely so to find a lone Pilot isnt gonna be easy plus they are almost the same size as Orcas so it does happen but its very rare especially since Pilot whales chase them away
pilot whales are the only dolphins to fight back against an orca, and orcas don't like risking injury unless they specialize in hunting a dangerous animal.
How smart of the pilots. Not sure why the huge pods of other dolphins don’t do the same to the small pod of transient orcas.
This is super cool!
Informative 👍👍👍
I take it, Orca Dolphins are not very popular among other dolphins & whales.
Go the Pilot Dolphins.
Don’t orcas hunt pilot whales? Like the way they hunt all other whales and dolphins?
