Gulf of California
Researchers have documented orcas in the Gulf of California using a previously undescribed technique to break apart sunfish carcasses. In two encounters, one orca held the fish while another rammed it at high speed, shattering the tissue into thousands of fragments. The behavior was observed in July 2024 and September 2025.

A pod of orcas known as Moctezuma's pod has been observed using a precise technique to hunt young great white sharks by flipping them upside down, inducing paralysis to extract their livers. Marine biologists documented two such events in 2020 and 2022, highlighting the whales' intelligence and possible links to shifting ocean conditions. This behavior suggests orcas may target white sharks more often than previously thought.
