Orcas seen ramming prey so hard it explodes may be playing game

Scientists have documented a brutal behaviour where Orcas ram giant sunfish at high speeds, causing the prey to explode into thousands of pieces. In these instances, one whale holds the fish in its jaws while another strikes the target. As the fish are already dead, researchers suggest this activity may be a form of entertainment or a method to help younger whales learn to feed, further cementing the killer reputation of these marine mammals.
