Orcas in captivity frequently exhibit self-harming behaviours driven by chronic psychological stress, boredom, and the frustration of confinement in barren concrete tanks. These abnormal behaviours—commonly referred to as zoochosis or stereotypies—are virtually absent in wild orca populations. Head banging and rubbing: Captive orcas have been documented repeatedly ramming or pressing their heads against tank walls, a behaviour believed to be stress-induced.

A viral video shows an orca ramming and killing an ocean sunfish in open water in a dramatic and violent encounter. The footage appears to capture the killer whale striking the large fish at speed and then interacting with it as pieces float in the sea, a behaviour that observers say may be part of orca predation or social interaction with this unusual prey species. Scientists have documented that orcas sometimes target sunfish and sometimes dismember them, although it’s not always clear whether

If you watch one whale video from J-Pod's May visit, watch this one til the end. It's hard to put into words what Memorial Day was like on the west side of San Juan Island, so I'll let Jason's video do the talking.

Orca Advocate on Instagram: "This is Tyson, a wild-caught killer whale, lying motionless at the bottom of his tank at Chimelong Spaceship in China. This behaviour is known as logging. In captive environments, orcas and dolphins are frequently seen floating still at the surface or resting motionless on the pool floor for prolonged periods of time. Although often explained to visitors as “how dolphins sleep,” this is not reflective of natural behaviour. In the wild, orcas do not stop moving to res

Orca Advocate on Instagram: "Precision. Power. Partnership. Two orcas hunting cooperatively off Baja, Mexico. One individual restrains a mola mola (ocean sunfish) while the second delivers a high-speed ram, breaking the fish into smaller, shareable pieces. A brilliant example of coordinated hunting behaviour in these apex predators! • 📸: @creaturesofbaja & @bajapelagica #orca #whale #orcawhale #orcinusorca #cetacean #killerwhale #blackfish #seaworld #mammal #baja #bajacalifornia #srkw #northern
