Orcas Off Mexico Develop New Hunting Strategy for Whale Sharks, Observed on Four Separate Occasions
Nov 29, 2024, 12:45 PM
A recent study has documented a pod of orcas off the coast of Mexico employing a coordinated strategy to hunt whale sharks, the largest fish species in the world. Researchers observed this behavior on four separate occasions, marking a significant development in understanding the hunting techniques of these marine mammals. The findings suggest that the orcas have adapted their hunting methods to target these enormous creatures, showcasing their intelligence and adaptability in the wild. This behavior has been captured in detail for the first time, providing valuable insights into the ecological dynamics of predator-prey relationships in marine environments.
