Seen in the wild
Yes I’ve seen clips of them hunting in NZ for rays right into harbours surrounded by boats. Orcas are very specific feeders, most populations only eat a particular prey. With me it’s chinook salmon.
this is such a good thing, as long as a chinook doesn't come and melt it right away

In 2025, so few Chinook salmon came back to the Stillaguamish River that the entire Stillaguamish Tribe was only allowed to catch 26 fish. www.npr.org/2026/05/03/n...
Frankly, right now your best chance at stealing it would be airlift, and I aint sleeping through a chinook over my house
