A Type B killer whale hunts a seal that has taken refuge on an ice flow.
Orca pods in the arctic have developed an amazing hunting stratagy for situations like this. The pod will form a line and charge the ice flow simaltaniously, thus creating a wave of water that washes the seal off of the ice and into the water where the orcas will finish it off.
