Orcas observed ramming sunfish together in possible hunting behavior

Researchers have observed orcas working in coordinated groups to repeatedly ram ocean sunfish, causing the large fish to rupture. Scientists believe the behavior may serve a practical purpose, helping younger orcas learn to feed more effectively. However, experts have not ruled out that the activity could simply be playful behavior rather than a feeding strategy. The observations add to growing evidence of complex social and potentially recreational behaviors among orca populations.
