"Unscripted Encounter: Humpback Whales Disrupt Orca Hunt, Caught on Camera"

National Geographic captured footage of humpback whales disrupting orcas that were hunting a seal in Antarctica. While humpbacks have been observed disrupting orca hunts in the past, the exact reason for their behavior remains unclear. One theory suggests that the seal may have been seeking refuge behind the humpbacks. Biologists believe that the humpbacks may engage in anti-predator mobbing behavior to protect themselves and other humpbacks, even if a calf is not immediately under threat. It is also possible that the seal itself sought out the humpbacks as a large object to hide behind.
