A stunning video shows how a male killer whale named T69C launched a harbor seal around 80 feet high into the air with just a flick of its tail. Experts said orca punting is rare. Generally, when orcas hit their prey, they do not eat them.

Video was captured by Mike Walker who was shooting for Eagle Wing Tours. He caught the footage on October 25 off the coast of Victoria, Canada. Brett Soberg, head of Eagle Wing, shared that they have captured many whale watching, but this one was quite different and rare.

Brett affirmed that it is the fourth time that he has seen an orca doing like this in around two decades. As per the information on the YouTube blurb, the orca called T69C was born in 1995 and is the only male member in its group.

Before flinging it out of the water, the orca was chasing the sea. Cetacean researcher Chris Parsons said that though orcas prey on seals, they do not eat them after hitting them. "But when they hit Dall's porpoises, they do it to eviscerate them. They hit them so hard that their entrails pop out, which they leave behind after eating the muscle and blubber", affirmed Parsons.

Great white sharks are considered to be the topmost predators of the sea. But the orca whale is quite powerful out of all and another interesting fact about them is they can be found in every ocean on earth.
