A gang of orcas attacked a humpback whale for 4 hours and took his dorsal fin but not his life.
In Australia, whale watchers spotted a rare sight last week when two pods of orcas ganged up and attacked a healthy young humpback whale. As stated by the Sydney Morning Herald, the humpback whale, which is a 2- to 3-year-old male, survived the attack, even though they took his dorsal fin.

Gemma Sharp, the joint owner of Australia Whale Watcher, who was present at the scene during the attack on Feb.17, 2021, told the newspaper that they knew they were witnessing something significant. The gang of orcas was in all-out attack mode and the humpback whale was desperately trying to protect itself.
