Discovery Channel presents KILLER WHALES, a new one-hour special - produced before the tragic death at SeaWorld - that spans the globe to examine the astonishing predatory behaviour of this opportunistic feeder.
A wild pack of animals confidently and effortlessly stalks its prey, fearing no other living cr eature. Their senses are attuned. Their movements are deliberate. Stealthily, they surround an unsuspecting victim. Isolated, outnumbered and overwhelmed, the prey stands no chance.
Instantly, razor-sharp teeth pierce through flesh and a 90-kilogram mammal is tossed easily through the air. It's been another successful hunt for the ocean's greatest predators. KILLER WHALES travels to Patagonia, Argentina, where the orcas launch themselves onto the beach to capture sea lion pups; visits South Africa where killer whales have just been discovered hunting their closest cousins, dolphins; and finally goes to New Zealand, where the orcas take on poisonous stingrays.
