The humpback whales they had been stalking earlier called for backup.

It was reported in the news (on the order of two years ago) that killer whales off the coast of Mexifornia were teaching their you the “trick” for hunting great white sharks.

They long have used teamwork to drown larger whales, a pair of killer whales each holding the prey by one of its pectoral fins. They reportedly do the same to great whites, only not to drown it, to make it “go to sleep.” And once they’re asleep, they’re defenseless.

Orcas are not dolphins.

They are all part of the "Toothed Whale" family but they are not the same.

Porpoises, Dolphins, Beaked Whales, Killer Whales and Sperm Whales are all toothed whales. The Killer Whale is the only one that is known to eat other whales although dolphins will attack and kill porpoises for fun.
