An autopsy showed that the killer whale ate animals weighing about 117 kilograms. He also had 256 cephalopod beak pieces in his stomach.
On the coast of one of the Commander Islands, located on the Far East shelf in the Bering Sea, scientists discovered the dead body of a female killer whale. It turned out that there were 7 sea otters in his stomach, writes Live Science.
A sea otter is stuck between the oral cavity and the esophagus. This will most likely lead to the death of the predator.
According to researchers, killer whales, as a rule, do not swallow food whole, but tear it into pieces and eat only the fattest pieces. In addition, they are not interested in sea otters.
Among the versions of this strange story are that either the woman was very hungry, or the killer whales learned new hunting tactics.
We remind you that earlier a video appeared about fifty sharks attacking a whale.
