"Mesmerizing Orca Mastery: Spine-Tingling Wave Washing"

TL;DR Summary
Orcas in Antarctica have mastered a hunting technique called wave washing, where they work together to create powerful waves that flood ice sheets and fling seals into the sea. This behavior, learned and mastered over decades, showcases their intelligence and complex teamwork. However, as Antarctica warms and sea ice disappears, Weddell seals are staying on land, reducing the orcas' hunting opportunities. Scientists have observed a decline in the population of these orcas, raising concerns about the potential extinction of their unique hunting culture.
These orcas have mastered wave washing. It's spine-tingling to watch. National Geographic
