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?

Yeah right. Next you’ll be telling me that squid can fly.
This is an excellent meta joke on your username, and for anyone curious, here’s the link to a wikipedia page on flying (more like gliding) squids https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_flying_squid
Japanese flying squid don’t glide.
But neon flying squid do.
Oh wow fascinating read, thanks!
They did use to wear salmon as a hat. Orcas are built different.
It was only a short fashion trend. Like Vote for Pedro shirts or women using a bandana as a top.
A Møøse once bit my sister … No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink”.
Fortunately, an Orca rescued her by eating the Møøse!
You saw that comic too, huh?
Yeah - Amazing. I was thinking - “no way… I have to check this out.” Yep. It appears to be not only plausible but a that happens with some frequency.
That’s why I keep far from those waters.

It’s pretty much the only animal that is a predator for moose. Even bears don’t fuck with them.
Fine dining and all that 👌
How the hell do they even hold the gun to hunt!?!
What about the moose knuckle?
Holy shit! I don’t even know what an Orca is, but I do know they must be badass if they’re out there killing and eating moose! Do you have ANY idea how deadly a moose is, if it decides you need to die???
Yeah. Orcas have to be insanely big and strong…
You don’t know what an orca is?
Also known as “killer whale”. (Which is a mistranslation actually, originally name being closer to “whale killer”, as orcas hunt and kill other whales, even adult blue ones.)
