I am shocked to find out today after watching the 1st episode of The Blue Planet that killer whales not only kill warm-blooded animals like fishes and seals.. they also kill turtles, otters, penguins and polar bears (all very cute animals to me)
Most importantly they kill whales!!! The 1st episode of The Blue Planet shows them killing a baby whale.. despite the mother frantic attempts to protect her baby whale.. there is practically nothing much she can do.. especially when the baby whale have no more energy to swim...(and the killer whales just keep chasing)...they tried to drown the baby whale by pushing it underwater so it cant breathe and the mother frantically try to support it above water.... and then one of the killer whale took a bite and the baby whale is dead....
Goodness.. how sad the mother is... she is pregnant with the baby for 13 months.. (that's what i thought i heard and remember - need to be checked).. and now that her baby is dead, she will have to carry on the migration journey alone... arghhh..
Anyway the killer whales after killing the baby whale only eats the lower jaw and the tongue.. then they swim away and leave the body of the baby whale floating in the middle of the water until it sinks and become the food of others in the deep ocean...
And the best thing of all, killer whale is the type of whales shown in Free Willy.. and the same type that we see in big aquariums.. alamak.. they kill whales for goodness sake...
