Orcas hunting dolphins (in HD) - Orcas cazando delfines (en alta definicion)

The video shows a group of Orcas hunting a group of dolphins. You can see the Orcas and dolphins jump completely out of the water. there are some spectacular shots that I also added in slow motion.
The whole thing lasted about 20 minutes. In the end, the Orcas got their lunch. Not sure how many dolphins they got, but it was at least a couple. I thought dolphins could outswim Orcas (which are also dolphins), but I guess the orcas are faster. They attacked them like a pack of wolves, surrounding the dolphins and tiring them out. It was amazing to watch it as it happened.
Recorded in Monterey Bay, California, during a bird watching trip with Shearwater Journeys. If you are ever in Monterey, you have to get on one of their trips. (www.shearwaterjourneys.com).

Perdonenme que lo digo;
Las orcas se divierten cazando y y se divierten con sus presas. No las matan las comen y ya. Juegan con ellas, eso las hace ser verdaderamente perversas.
Son mi animal preferidos pero debemos aceptar que son escalofriantemente crueles.

I am no expert on marine biology or anything, but it kind of looked like playing to me. I've been out whale watching and these ones seemed really lively. IMO anyway.

In a way you are right. In the pod there were at least two young orcas. The adults were teaching them how to hunt. The orcas could have killed the dolphins easily. They were beating up the dolphins so the young ones could have a go at them while the dolphins were tired and slower. But have no doubt. The orcas did kill some some the dolphins. I don't know how many but we did see oil stains on the water. They had their lunch. It was a hunting lesson.
