  That’s the reason. Dolphins also pick on fish just because it entertains them.

    Maybe. There was a orca calf that fed on the exploded bits, while the adults left the small parts for it and only ate the bigger parts.

    They made baby food.

      The orca who came up with this was a genius.

  Probably. Orcas can behave in quote a human manner sometimes.

  Hank Green did a video about Sunfish and apparently they are mostly collagen which is not very nutritious so most things don’t bother eating or hunting them so it’s quite possible the orcas just do it for fun. I think the article speculates that breaking the Sunfish into small pieces might help young orcas to eat it more easily though so it’s a bit unknown I think
