During a six-day survey on the Kamchatka Peninsula, members of the Russian Far East Whale Project (FEROP) witnessed an interesting spectacle. A flock of killer whales work together to knock out a 12-meter-long minke whale.
This interesting spectacle is recorded and shared on YouTube by TeamTrip, an organization specializing in exploratory exploration.
In the video, the killer whales in the pack work together to knock the minke whale upside down and submerge the prey into the water. After the prey dies, the whole group of killer whales storms the victim's body. This shows that a group of killer whales has complex cooperative tactics to track and kill large prey.
The phenomenon of killer whales hunting mammals often appears in Russian Far East. In addition, scientists have also recorded similar cases occur in Monterey Bay, California, USA.
