Orca Strikes Dolphin Mid-Air While Soaring 15 ft Above Water
Miguel Cuevas of Cabo Pulmo Divers captured this incredible footage of an orca leaping 15 ft into the air in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez this past weekend.
You can see the orca making a tactical strike on the dolphin in mid-air, as it continues to soar even higher after contact. Cuevas tells USA Today it was a predation event by at least 10 female orcas that were hunting dolphins and other marine animals in the area.
