Video by @bertiegregory | A pod of wave-washing killer whales, or orcas, hunt three crabeater seals at once. There are only about a hundred of these special killer whales in Antarctica. We humans often wonder just how smart wild animals are. Well, these killer whales have learned that by using teamwork as a family group and water as a tool, they can create powerful waves to access seals that would otherwise be out of reach. Every single time we saw them hunt, their tactics were different and the types of waves they created were different. Their behavior was artful, not instinctive. This technique that they have mastered is like that of a professional athlete who masters a sport over decades of training. Watch these incredible hunters in "Animals Up Close with @bertiegregory," now streaming on @disneyplus. And learn more about them at the link in bio.

It was absolutely mind blowing to witness this pod of around 20 orca work together as a team to attempt to take down a gray whale. They ultimately were not successful as the whales put up an amazing fight and protected their sensitive areas. Had one of these whales been a calf I think the outcome would have been very different. Of course it’s always a hard watch for the whales perspective but predators also need to eat and work extremely hard for their meals. Nature can be brutal, but always beautiful. @kaimana.expeditions x @latitude.encounters Drone footage by @camgrantphotography #orca #ocean #graywhale #mexico #oceansafari #whalewatch #orcas
