Killer Whale Feeding

As most of us know, the killer whale is one of the world's top predators. Their diet is a large variety of other animal such as fish, squid, seals, penguins, polar bears, sharks, and even smaller whales. On an average day, a whale will consume 500 pounds of food and spend 60% of their time finding food. In rare occasions, land mammals have been found in the stomach of killer whales. The whales help each other hunt food while they are gathered in pods and each take turns to eat their prey.

Check out this video of how they capture and eat their prey!
