Nature Podcast · Briefing Chat: Orcas smashed a sunfish to bits — researchers aren't sure why · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

Was the sunfish kind of flapping about?

Was it still aware of what was going on before it was ended?

Yeah, that was my question is, could they just be dirtbags who just like explode fish?

Right.

And you say this is the first time this has been seen and fortuitously captured on film.

So I guess a question is, was this just a one off?

One orca had hold of it and then another one rammed it, or is this a pattern of behaviour?

I guess you need more than one example for it to be a pattern.

Well, I'm not sure we can top that, so let's call it time for the podcast this week.

Listeners, we'll put links to both of those stories so you can read more about them and watch the Aukers in their horrific games over in the show notes.

And we'll also put a link where you can sign up to the Nature Briefing to get even more stories like them delivered directly to your inbox.

And I'm Benjamin Thompson.

See ya next time.
