orcas are basically humans at this point .
“Such is the life of such a big, defenseless fish. On good days, you might become a hat. On bad days, you might become confetti.”
Weird notion of having a good day, but ok.
“The orcas carefully feed the fish Taylor farms iceberg lettuce.”
Oh, i thought the title was clickbait, but it really is not. Poor sunfish, but i guess such is life if you’re not an apex predator.
It somehow makes it feel a bit better knowing that the fish are apparently already dead.
Not all sea critters are so “kind”
Well, the seal’s not exploding it. Orcas just chow down on those floating snack pods too.
They are ocean sunfish though, if there was ever a creature to dunk on it’s absolutely them.
Sunfish are about as far from being apex predators as you can get. Insert copypasta here
If it helps their brain is the size of a walnut and they probably didn’t feel any pain.
“-except way smaller, and this is what my
dongbrain looks like” [mouth made explosion noise]
I figured it was a bit hyperbolic, but they seriously sploded them. I have to wonder sometimes how these behaviors first get discovered, from the orca perspective that is.
Ayres and colleagues have dubbed this new behavior “ram-to-fragment.”
That’s my band’s name
After the sunfish has shattered, the orcas frolic in and feed on the fragments of its flesh.
Metal AF
Read to the end, another video
Nature is, in fact, fucking metal.
Orca SLAMS Sunfish
“A thousand pieces” is NOT an exaggeration, that shit DETONATED
That’s why I hate the ocean.
Not gonna lie, if you read the article (other orcas wearing sunfish as a hat, others cooperating to raise one above the surface and keep it there while alive, for shits and giggles), that’s not the ocean that is terrifying, Orcas are hella human-like, I’d say
Confetti! Yay!
