Exactly. There's a reason why they're called "killer whales". My boyfriend LOVES animals and any show relating to them. He got me into watching certain series with him (
Planet Earth,
North America, etc.) and on a few episodes, they would show the feeding/killing process of these animals. It was quite frightening.
One thing I learned that I didn't know before: they kill other whales. If a few orcas can hunt, kill, and eat a humpback whale, then I don't want to be anywhere near them.
