Auckland orcas feeding on stingrays
A pod of orca are hunting near Auckland’s Tamaki Drive, attracting crowds of onlookers. Two adult orcas and 3 – 4 juveniles are believed to be hunting stingrays, which they are throwing into the air and eating.
New Zealand orcas are the only known group that eat stingrays as a staple food. This often means they come into shallow waters, which may be a reason that they have the highest rate of beachings in the world.
The story is from the New Zealand Herald, which also has some subscriber photos.
