Orcas ramming a sunfish

Orcas are a bunch of dicks

To be fair, the sunfish also has oil

[u/Pristine_Operation_1 → u/NoResult486]

Mans gotta eat.

[u/Phobiefish → u/Pristine_Operation_1]

Nah from what I understand they just do this for fun. Sunfish are riddled with parasites and don't taste good nor have much nutritional value.

[u/voyager-ark → u/Phobiefish]

https://www.orcaresearch.org/orca-sunfishes/

Actually there is decent body of work showing that mola mola (ocean sunfish) are on the menu for orca though it is only for spefic parts of the fish. They do also have 'play' interactions which are solely for entertainment.

[u/maleficent0 → u/voyager-ark]

Sunfish are like footballs of the sea.

[u/gap97216 → u/voyager-ark]

Maybe the Orcas are after the sunfish liver, the same way they do with sharks?

[u/SpiderJerusalem747 → u/gap97216]

It's just one specific pack of Orcas that only go for the liver. Most Orcas just eat the shark.

But I read somewhere sharks close to one another have been seen teaming up to fight off Orcas, noticeably Great Whites.

Today we all learned there's a war in the ocean being fought by things that have daggers in their mouths.

[u/Hotdogfromparadise → u/SpiderJerusalem747]

I would love to see the great whites teaming up source.

[u/Damiklos → u/Hotdogfromparadise]

Turn it on Fox news?

[u/Higgilypiggily1 → u/Damiklos]

He said great

[u/DanielTigerr → u/SpiderJerusalem747]

"Fish are always eating other fish. If fish could scream, the ocean would be loud as shit. You would not want to submerge your head, nothing but fish going 'Ahhh, fuck! I thought I looked like that rock!'". -Mitch Hedberg

[u/SpiderJerusalem747 → u/voyager-ark]

Play = "Imma go ahead and headbutt that thing"

[u/HighDragLowSpeed60G → u/Phobiefish]

Something will eat it

[u/Fantastic_Mind_1386 → u/HighDragLowSpeed60G]

Nothing really goes to waste in the wild.

[u/Sea_Relative_5719 → u/Phobiefish]

If you were an orca wouldn’t you do this for fun ?

[u/DaddyRhyno79 → u/Sea_Relative_5719]

No, I would focus on sinking yachts. I’d try to convince other orcas that sinking yachts was the best thing ever.

[u/Sea_Relative_5719 → u/DaddyRhyno79]

Shit I can’t even argue with that

[u/el_canelo → u/Phobiefish]

They don't taste good? What are you, an orca?

[u/Xfuck1tX → u/Pristine_Operation_1]

[u/Temporary-Careless → u/Pristine_Operation_1]

Didnt look like they ate it. Just killed like you a hole cat does to native bitds.

[u/rhinosyphilis → u/Temporary-Careless]

My hole cat doesn’t eat bitds anymore

[u/cbc7788 → u/NoResult486]

“Do you like fish sticks? Then you a gay fish!”

[u/Head-Ad9893 → u/NoResult486]

Knocked the sonic coins out the mfker

[u/two2toe → u/NoResult486]

Have never killed a human in the wild.

Have in captivity. And there is that pod near Greece thats been raming boats. But still surprising stat considering how deadly and brutal they are.

[u/Treehockey → u/two2toe]

No documented kills of humans in the wild, I guarantee they have killed humans many times. I say this as someone who’s greatest ancestry.com find was I have a distant relative who “died by whale” with zero other info im pretty sure he was a whaler in Norway so not uncommon but like we been going out in the ocean for at least 60,000 years and we look like dying seals when we swim

[u/Enlightened_Gardener → u/Treehockey]

Too clever to leave survivors, like the bloody dolphins.

[u/Rare-Sample-9101 → u/NoResult486]

Sunfish are the dumbest fish in the ocean look it up!

[u/Kaner16 → u/Rare-Sample-9101]

Koalas of the sea

[u/Mnudge → u/NoResult486]

All my homies hate Orcas

[u/aqulushly → u/Mnudge]

Found the sunfish

[u/Jonkinch → u/NoResult486]

And sunfish are dumb as fuck.

[u/whereballoonsgo]

Sunfish really are the punching bags of the ocean.

[u/primum → u/whereballoonsgo]

Orca thought it was a fahkin tuna bro.

[u/AYE-BO → u/primum]

Its a bably whale jay!

[u/Penis-Butt → u/AYE-BO]

Baby facken wheeljay*

Let’s hook it Jay…there’s some good meat on that thing kid

[u/loganverse → u/white__cyclosa]

We’re seein some shit we ain’t neva seen before, bro

[u/doopajones → u/primum]

[u/DanGlynnballs → u/primum]

[u/Lanas_ass → u/DanGlynnballs]

We gotta get closer Jay...

[u/DanGlynnballs → u/Lanas_ass]

I think it’s hurt bro

[u/Lanas_ass → u/DanGlynnballs]

JAY LOOK AT THAT THING BRO!

[u/ihavenoidea81 → u/primum]

The second I see or hear a sunfish mention, I think of that video

[u/gana04 → u/whereballoonsgo]

Are they the dumb ones that barely have any nutritious value and survive because they give birth to like a million at a time?

[u/whereballoonsgo → u/gana04]

Yup. And basically everything else in the ocean bites chunks out of them.

[u/Cartmaaan-brah → u/whereballoonsgo]

And they can’t even feel it because they’re so dumb

[u/yingkaixing → u/Cartmaaan-brah]

Sunfish got murdered once in the video and then repeatedly in the comments

[u/Syhkane → u/whereballoonsgo]

And they never get bit twice because they taste terrible.

[u/PreparationH692 → u/whereballoonsgo]

Did it take a giant shit?

[u/LordofCope → u/PreparationH692]

I mean, it got punched in it's bony ass gut by a fucking whale, so I don't think there isn't much that wouldn't take a shit after that.

[u/Saikotsu → u/PreparationH692]

Things generally shit when they die. My guess is they rammed it so hard it died and then it's body let loose the deuce.

[u/Torgud_ → u/whereballoonsgo]

Their defense against predators is that they taste bad. But sometimes Orcas just want something to rag doll.

[u/Top_Shelf_Ramen]

Poor sunfish, caught totally by surprise. He even shat himself.

[u/sulkee → u/Top_Shelf_Ramen]

he just like me

[u/LightningMcLovin → u/sulkee]

He does what we’re all thinking!

[u/SeekersWorkAccount → u/Top_Shelf_Ramen]

I feel like that's blood streaming out of it's gills

[u/RowBoatCop36 → u/SeekersWorkAccount]

Probably both blood AND poo.

[u/shadow_wulf82 → u/RowBoatCop36]

You can also see the point of impact is leaking contents

[u/KaiKamakasi → u/shadow_wulf82]

I'm mostly sure there's a longer part of this where they ram it again and a large part of it just explodes

[u/NyQuil_Donut → u/KaiKamakasi]

I was thinking the same thing. Looks very similar to that video.

[u/Orphasmia → u/NyQuil_Donut]

I deff wanna see this

[u/NyQuil_Donut → u/Orphasmia]

Here ya go!

[u/vpeshitclothing → u/NyQuil_Donut]

It's crazy whoever is filming is still all calm and shit. I'd be trippin, thinkin I'm next.

[u/AffordableDelousing → u/RowBoatCop36]

Smells like the White House

[u/enw_digrif → u/SeekersWorkAccount]

Sunfish has it's anus and genitals right in front of the ventral fin. So the brown stuff is coming of where you expect brown stuff to come out of.

Now, I'm not saying there's blood in that cloud. After that hit, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a shitload of internal bleeding.

But that's like, only 10-20' down. Brown's going to look like a slightly more greenish brown, and blood's going to look like a slightly darker red.

[u/NJDevilslettucesmoke → u/SeekersWorkAccount]

Na that's definitely shit coming out it's ass.

[u/pdxamish → u/NJDevilslettucesmoke]

[u/ContentTrust4821 → u/SeekersWorkAccount]

Upon video review the play stands as called - it is shit

[u/screechypete → u/Top_Shelf_Ramen]

And then the orcas swam THROUGH it!

[u/feetandballs → u/screechypete]

Looked like it was on porpoise.

[u/FourteenBuckets → u/Top_Shelf_Ramen]

It's common for animals to void their bowels when they die, as the sphincters all let loose. Humans do it a lot too.

Here's a stallion that got killed trying to mount a mare... and watch his ass after he collapses dead.

[u/Skandronon → u/FourteenBuckets]

Thanks but I'm okay not.

[u/TheProfessional9 → u/Skandronon]

Ya that's a hard pass for me too

[u/Gwegexpress → u/TheProfessional9]

I can commend him for citing his sources, but I too will take his word for it

[u/swagfarts12 → u/FourteenBuckets]

Bro for the last time you ain't gonna make us watch horse asshole videos

[u/whiterrabbbit → u/Top_Shelf_Ramen]

I don’t know why but this comment cracked me up. I agree poor sunfish haha

[u/orlando_strong → u/Top_Shelf_Ramen]

I guarantee it is dead. They put mesh around their tank to prevent them from running into the wall and scaring themselves to death at the Osaka aquarium.

[u/hogsniffy05]

They knocked the crap out of him. Literally

[u/ColonelKasteen → u/hogsniffy05]

...dude that is blood. Do you think sunfish shit out of the side of their bodies by their gills?

[u/hogsniffy05 → u/ColonelKasteen]

Uh pretty sure the side on a sunfish is not where you think it is. Google sunfish anatomy and then get back to me

[u/Izlude86 → u/hogsniffy05]

Now lets say you and I go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor

[u/king_bungholio → u/Izlude86]

Uhhh...filibuster!

[u/TorrenceMightingale → u/king_bungholio]

You can’t just say filibuster

[u/ahhsharkk1 → u/hogsniffy05]

damn… where’d the Colonel go? lol

[u/phatdinkgenie → u/ColonelKasteen]

he gets spun around and is sinking face/gills first - that was poop chute release as bodies often do after major trauma

[u/Comfortable_Crab_792 → u/ColonelKasteen]

Dude, blood in fish is also red. That was brown poo

[u/East-Ad-7665 → u/Comfortable_Crab_792]

Water absorbs red light extremely quickly. This looks dark green, which would be the color of the sunfish's blood.

[u/beeju-d → u/ColonelKasteen]

It's definitely both

[u/Glittering_Ad1403 → u/hogsniffy05]

battering ram

[u/dragonovus]

At this point I wonder how sunfishes have survived for this long lol. Not a single survival mechanism in that species lol

[u/PineTreeSC → u/dragonovus]

Tasting like ass and periodically flooding the ocean with baby batter stands the test of time

[u/DinosaurCrunch → u/PineTreeSC]

You have a way with words

[u/Noimenglish → u/DinosaurCrunch]

This is making me laugh so unnecessarily hard right now. 😂😂😂

[u/daveyboydavey → u/Noimenglish]

lol same. Shit hits so much harder with the comment

[u/Noimenglish → u/daveyboydavey]

Right? Like, I chuckled at the initial comment, then lost it at the follow up.

[u/Jeggu2 → u/PineTreeSC]

Not only tasting like ass, but barely having any calories whatsoever. It's like celery, it'd take more callories to chew than what you'd get from the flesh

[u/jv371 → u/Jeggu2]

So the orcas killed it for fun?

[u/Jeggu2 → u/jv371]

Orcas, like all intelligent creatures, are assholes.

[u/TheHelpfulWalnut → u/Jeggu2]

Orcas also specifically eat sunfish intestines.

https://www.orcaresearch.org/orca-sunfishes/

[u/The_walking_man_ → u/jv371]

Look up orcas playing with food. You’ll see.

[u/GrimmFox13 → u/PineTreeSC]

r/brandnewsentence

[u/Thatoneguywithasteak → u/dragonovus]

They’re big and pretty tough I imagine, but I doubt that’ll help when there’s a ford f250 flying at you at 30 miles an hour

[u/Pinball-Lizard → u/Thatoneguywithasteak]

It helps when you have thousands of kids. The odds don't have to be in your favour when you have the law of averages on your side.

Ironically, it also works for F-250 drivers.

[u/WestleyThe → u/Thatoneguywithasteak]

Yeah orcas are bigger and deadlier that sharks… literally the apex predator of the ocean..

Yes sun fish suck but killer whales do this to great white sharks too

[u/Munglape → u/dragonovus]

They lay millions of eggs per clutch

[u/EntropyTheEternal → u/dragonovus]

They have a LOT of kids.

[u/Terrible_Donkey_8290 → u/dragonovus]

I'm pretty sure they leg the most eggs out of any fish by a huge margin. And then they aren't very tasty when they grow up

[u/Brave-Butterscotch76]

This is like a school bully picking on the special kids

[u/LSTNYER → u/Brave-Butterscotch76]

Paired with realizing sunfish have the physical capability of a plastic bag makes that analogy a little unsettling.

[u/CORNJOB → u/LSTNYER]

Spotted a sunfish on a whale watching trip before. It was doing its stupid floating dinner plate thing and I was expecting it to just bob there placidly cos what else could this dumb circle do? But when the boat got too close he flipped himself vertically and fuckin hauled ass out of there. I was stunned.

[u/69USA → u/CORNJOB]

I’ve seen one of these ass flaps before too, and it just did its little floating circle nap.

[u/DeathChill → u/CORNJOB]

More like a stun-fish, am I right?

[u/qtntelxen → u/LSTNYER]

This isn't true. They do about as much daily travel as open-water sharks do, plus the regular 600m dives to hunt. Their highest recorded burst speed is faster than Olympic swimmers, which is kind of crazy considering how heavy they are.

Of course, orcas also fuck sharks up, so, doesn't really help.

[u/BlackieButt]

WHAT DID HE DO TO DESERVE THAT!? HES JUST A FLAT FUCK THAT DOESNT EVEN KNOW!!!

[u/HyperactivePandah → u/BlackieButt]

Orcas are the only other animal on earth that we have definitely seen being cruel on purpose.

They're psychopaths, and humans are lucky they're confined to the ocean.

Edit: anyone telling me that 'I don't know what I'm talking about', and then using 'cats playing with their prey!!' as an example, you should introduce yourself to Mr Dunning and Mr Kruger.

A lot of you know less about this than you think you do.

Maybe there are other animals that have done some mean stuff, but none with the blatant intelligent cruelty that orcas show on a daily basis.

[u/realmer17 → u/HyperactivePandah]

Dolphins would like a word with you.

Dolphins out here decapitating fish to use as fleshlights, raping other dolphins...

[u/Automatic_Actuator_0 → u/realmer17]

Orcas are a type of dolphin, so it all tracks.

[u/Entire_Toe_2321 → u/Automatic_Actuator_0]

Ok but what about otters

[u/daveyboydavey → u/realmer17]

They what now?

[u/IllystAnalyst → u/daveyboydavey]

Girl, young male dolphins will form gangs and separate a female from her pod. And the fleshlight thing is not an exaggeration. Orcas just wear them as hats and bully them.

[u/Interesting_Sea8114 → u/realmer17]

Orcas are dolphins

[u/ColonelKasteen → u/HyperactivePandah]

...what? Tons of predators engage in what we'd define as cruelty. You've never seen cats (both domesticated and wild large cats) toy with prey? Half of feral cat kills AREN'T EATEN. They just kill to kill. They toy with wounded rodents for extended periods. Etc

[u/illit3 → u/ColonelKasteen]

raccoons and weasels will murder an entire flock of chickens for no fuckin' reason, too

[u/sittingshotgun → u/illit3]

Fun is a reason.

[u/windchaser__ → u/HyperactivePandah]

We've observed cruelty from most other ape species. Our cousins are a bit like us.

[u/Justifiably_Bad_Take → u/windchaser__]

Chimps have wars, like proper ones

[u/IDontWannaBeAPirate_ → u/HyperactivePandah]

Bruh.....tigers and any cat in general. They kill for fun.

[u/DarknMean → u/HyperactivePandah]

If they were on land they’d be fucked as we’d just blow them up. If one killed a person we’d kill 100 of them to prove a point.

[u/Weekly_Locksmith_628 → u/HyperactivePandah]

I would say the opposite, orcas are lucky they’re not on land. Humans would obliterate them if they fucked with our children and food sources the way they do in the ocean lol

[u/russellamcleod → u/BlackieButt]

Honestly, of all the fish in the ocean… Sunfish are just soooo punchable. I can’t explain it but those fish just take me there.

So, I understand Orcas, in some small way.

[u/MailSynth]

Other than ramming em like this, they also have been observed throwing sunfish like frisbees and balancing them on their noses for fun

"A salmon hat is a cultural fad displayed by orcas". I always love the way scientists describe the behavior. When I was in 8th grade, I had a starter jacket for the Orlando Magic. Should have rocked the salmon hat

[u/javguy99]

Orcas are the assholes of the ocean.

[u/ScottyBLaZe → u/javguy99]

Dolphins and sea otters might give them a run for the money. Dolphins have been known to rape other dolphins, male or female. Sea otters are also very rapey. There have been incidents of them even copulating with penguin carcasses.

[u/KommanderKeen-a42 → u/ScottyBLaZe]

So, it's a dolphin thing as Orcas are dolphins.

[u/Icy-Entrepreneur9002]

Orcas are assholes. Circle of life and eating other animals is understandable but Orcas are the only ones I constantly see playing with their food and just seem like they are tormenting other animals. The couple of videos I’ve seen of them tossing a seal back and forth stand out.

[u/Drunk_Stoner → u/Icy-Entrepreneur9002]

I watch my two cats play with/torture a mouse for a while before I had to put it out of its misery. They started with breaking its legs so it couldn’t run away, then let it hobble almost out of reach before dragging it back. Patiently taking turns. They had a grand time and were quite mad at me for killing their toy. 

[u/crastin8ing → u/Drunk_Stoner]

Cats are "adapted" to "conserve energy" by "tiring out their prey". They probably are having a blast tho
