Orcas Learn to Kill the Largest Fish on Earth

Orcas have learned to kill the largest fish on Earth - whale sharks. Scientists have discovered that the predators work together to flip the 18-meter-long fish, bringing them into a state of tonic immobility. When orcas hunt, they act as a unified team, striking the whale shark to turn it upside down. In this position, the sharks fall into a state of tonic immobility, losing the ability to move or dive deep. This allows the predators to access the less protected areas of the prey's body. After this, the killer whales feast.
