Orca vs. Seals off Patagonia

The Killer Whale also known as the Orca, is a toothed whale belonging to the dolphin family. Killer whales are found in all oceans, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas. Killer whales, as a species, have a diverse diet, although individual populations specialize in particular types of prey. Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals such as sea lions, seals, walruses and even large whales. Killer whales are apex predators, lacking natural predators and preying on even large sharks.

Between late February and late April, Orcas can be seen off the shores of Patagonia “wave hunting” for Seals. Aquavision now offers astonishing sequences showing the Orca emerging from shallow waters towards the shore, in an attempt to catch and feed on the seal pup.

Orcas often disable their intended prey before killing and eating it. This involves throwing it in the air, slapping it with their tails, ramming it, or breaching and landing on it. Seals are killed by head butting or a stunning blow from a tail fluke.

All content is available from the Aquavision Stock Library archive and offers unsurpassed coverage of this unique location. The Orca footage is suitable for broadcast, video-on-demand and online use but also for mobile platforms and educational use.
