Killer Whale Punts Seal High into the Air

October 27, 2015

It’s almost time for Halloween, which in addition to eating lots of candy and dressing up in costumes involves the time-honored tradition of hucking pumpkins with giant sling shots.

Now a killer whale up in British Columbia is getting into the action, only instead of a pumpkin it flung a harbor seal about 80 feet into the air. The extraordinary site was captured by drone from a vessel owned by Eagle Wing Whale Watching Tours.

A group of transient orca whales, which are different then Southern Resident killer whales because they feed on marine mammals, were circling a school of anchovies when one of the whales went after a harbor seal. Known for playing with their food, this orca created a whipping action which punted the harbor seal high into the air like a football player.
