>>33456907The Sea World orcas do this a lot. Probably because they hate eating frozen fish that lack nutrients and would rather hunt. Essentially they regurgitate a fish and lure a bird over and drown it then share with the pod. However they rarely eat it and play with it instead.
And yes, they are clever. Who would have thought that a creature with a large brain and well developed emotional center would be intelligent? It's almost like they're on par with us. However I'm just a cetacean lover who would die for these creatures so what do I know?
I also dream about them literally every night. I would trade anything to know what an orca truly thinks. What thoughts must go through a mind like that? Especially in a captive environment? What do they think of us?
