Although it usually takes       hours for killer whales to kill a grey whale calf—due in part to the fact       that these calfs’ mothers usually give a valiant effort to protect their       young, using their massive        tails to strike at the orcas and-- at times -- roll over with the calf on       their bellies—the killing on Wednesday took only 20 minutes.       >       > Black told the paper that the mother and calf in this case appeared to be       thinner than usual, hence may have given up a lesser fight. She said it may be       a record how fast the pod of nine whales killed the calf.       >       >       > Young orcas swam nearby to observe how the females approach the kill.       >       > "Mothers and calves are last to migrate because they stay in Mexico longer       so their calves can grow up and gain weight before they make that long       migration," Black told the paper.       >              I agree all predator animals should be fenced in to a specific area of       their country and feed soya meat with added vitamins. Their prey can       live a life in their own safe space, without fear from being eaten.        |
