TIL that Orcas sometimes eat moose

www.americanoceans.org Do Orcas Eat Moose?

Ever wonder if an orca could eat a moose? These are two animals you would think never come into contact with each other, but you might be surprised!

It may come as a surprise to many, but orcas have been known to eat moose. While this may seem like an unlikely interaction between two very different creatures, it is not unheard of in the wild.

Orcas are versatile predators, and their diet includes a wide variety of prey, from fish to seals to whales.

In Alaska and Canada, orcas have been observed hunting moose that swim across rivers. These moose are often weakened by the cold water and swift currents, making them easy targets for the orcas.

So... wtf?
