Just to fuck with you all a little. What if they are doing it because its fun to watch it explode?

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 24 points 22 hours ago

That’s the reason. Dolphins also pick on fish just because it entertains them.

Maybe. There was a orca calf that fed on the exploded bits, while the adults left the small parts for it and only ate the bigger parts.

They made baby food.

The orca who came up with this was a genius.

Probably. Orcas can behave in quite a human manner sometimes.
