Both incidents demonstrated teamwork; one orca held a sharptail sunfish, scientifically named Masturus lanceolatus, by its tail, while another orca swam toward the fish at high speed. Moments before impact, the restraining orca let go, and its partner slammed into the sunfish like a freight train hitting a watermelon. Young orcas then gobbled up fish fragments that drifted through the water as their elders tore into what was left of the sunfish\u2019s corpse.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Sharptail sunfish, or molas, are among the heaviest fish in the world, weighing more than 4,000 pounds (1,800 kilograms) and measuring up to 10 feet (3 meters) long.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Two-whales-allokelping,-with-a-small-length-of-kelp-stem-visible-between-them.-Center-for-Whale-Research,-NMFS-NOAA-Permit-27038.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-6972\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/f083267b7688ddce843e5d0d3eee61a3.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Center for Whale Research<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Drone footage reveals orcas using tools in a stunning first<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>6  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Orcas often coordinate their attacks in pairs or groups when they target large prey. However, this torpedolike body slam and subsequent fish explosion had never been observed before and was \u201can incredible behavior to see,\u201d said      Monika Wieland Shields, director of the Orca Behavior Institute. Shields was not involved in the new research.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI have never heard of anything similar to this occurring, so it is indeed a newly documented behavior as far as I know,\u201d Shields told CNN in an email.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Though all orcas belong to a single species, their diets vary widely depending on where they live. Orcas\u2019 prey may include fish, seals, belugas, narwhals, baleen whales or porpoises, and can require specialized feeding tactics \u2014 including, it seems, high-impact fragmentation.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=6964\">Democrats zero in on Nevada and South Carolina to kick off 2028 presidential primary calendar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI think that as we continue to observe orcas more closely around the world,\u201d Shields added, \u201cwe will continue to discover novel hunting and feeding behaviors, especially among lesser-studied populations.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018Just for fun\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Ramming the sunfish and causing them to explode could help orca calves and juveniles get more of the remains, according to the study. What\u2019s more, working together strengthens social bonds in orcas, as do shared meals. An exploded sunfish spread out in the water in thousands of pieces is certainly easier to share, offering another possible explanation for this practice.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But orcas are also known to play with newly dead food. Some orcas in Puget Sound off Washington state have worn dead salmon as hats. Others drape seal intestines over their fins or take turns tossing sea lion pelts into the air, Shields said.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Screenshot-2025-11-03-at-7.11.48\u202fAM.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-6973\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/9ec640ad9cf6e69504933f16f402b1fb.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>from Erick Higuera\/Marco Villegas<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Orcas seen hunting great white sharks to eat their livers in drone footage recorded in Mexico<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>3  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe\u2019ve also seen interactions with many other objects including bull kelp, driftwood, and crab pots,\u201d she said, \u201cIn many of these cases there doesn\u2019t seem to be a functional reason for these behaviors other than play.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In other words, it\u2019s possible that orcas body-slam sunfish purely for entertainment.
