It may come as a surprise to many, but orcas have been known to eat moose. While this may seem like an unlikely interaction between two very different creatures, it is not unheard of in the wild.

Orcas are versatile predators, and their diet includes a wide variety of prey, from fish to seals to whales.

In Alaska and Canada, orcas have been observed hunting moose that swim across rivers. These moose are often weakened by the cold water and swift currents, making them easy targets for the orcas.

So… wtf?

    Yeah - Amazing. I was thinking - “no way… I have to check this out.” Yep. It appears to be not only plausible but a that happens with some frequency.
