A dramatic scene played out off the coast of Monterey Bay, California, last week when a pod of 30 hungry orcas attacked two adult gray whales in a rare display of predatory force.
Evan Brodsky, of the Monterey Bay Whale Watch tour company, captured drone footage of the violent episode, which lasted a stunning five hours. The video shows the orcas plunging into the much larger gray whales, all of them thrashing about in the huge water battle.
