During a mid-January blue-sky day, a pod of orcas put on a show for dozens of onlookers in West Seattle on Friday.

When researchers from the University of British Columbia set out to film the solitary hunting habits of Northern resident killer whales, they expected to see quiet and solitary predators at work.

Orca whales swam off the shore of a Seattle neighborhood. The orcas were Bigg's killer whales, a group that hunts sea mammals. They visit the Seattle area often.

As the whale watching boat slowly approached, the passengers saw something strange in the water—an 80-foot cloud of red-brown liquid. Just minutes later, an orca hurled a small whale into the air.
