Killer Whales Teach Their Children To Beach Themselves — A Biologist Explains Why

Researchers report that orcas in Patagonia and the Crozet Archipelago use intentional stranding to hunt seals and sea lions.

Adult killer whales appear to teach juveniles this risky technique over time, guiding them through repeated practice.

The finding is a rare example of animal culture and shows hunting skills can be passed down through social learning.
