Incredible Orca Hunt

Spreading out, they spy-hop to search the ice flows. When a seal is spotted, the scouts alert the family with a rallying call. But if they are to catch a seal resting on such a large piece of ice, the hunters need to change their tactics. This time, they produce a subsurface wave. It breaks the ice into smaller pieces. But the seal still has a raft and appears to be protected from any oncoming wave. The matriarch whale, however, has a plan. Working in a coordinated way, the pod pushed the seal's ice platform into clearer water. The matriarch now tries another tactic which will avoid injury. They disorientate the tiring seal and the whales move in for the kill. Only about a hundred killer whales in the world hunt using this technique. It's an ingenious solution to the problem of finding prey here in the most extreme frozen habitat on Earth.
