Whale watch with Sanctuary Cruises out of Moss landing, CA on 7/10/2010. Juvenille Elephant seal is harrassed but not apparently eaten while the Orcas amaze the passengers.

I don't think at any point the seal thought they were playing

@dakfeld Yeah I hear that vegetarians are hunting tofu to extinction. Poor, gentle, medium-firm tofu; your days are numbered.

@63Bueno Orcas do kill in captivity though, but so do humans who have life sentances

@MegaOregonduckfan Orcas are from the dolphin family but dolphins are whales. Dolphins are a branch in the whale "tree" : /

@jsmallwood2007 they are animals. very intelligent animals. The orca calves learn to hunt from their parents, so it's not senseless if they play with their food for a little while so the calves can see how to catch/knock out/kill a prey. and they kill to survive, that's nature. live with it.

@word112 Well technically Orcas r in the dolphin family, but they r whales.

@dakfeld Your last sentence doesn't make sense. Absolutely not I'm sorry mate.
