According to our cousin (and some internet research)...they are essentially tenderizing their meal and making it easier to swallow.
Interesting facts about Orcas: They are commonly referred to as Killer Whales, but arent whales at all, they are dolphins. They are a natural predators to Moose. They are the Alphas of the sea, nobody punks them. They are the tippy top of Apex predators and can mangle the largest Great White Shark with ease. They are extremely intelligent with coordinated hunts and can maintain a speed of 30mph for a great distance. Outrunning an Orca is not likely.
They are just Trying to get the Dolphins’ scouts attention for the NFL draft. “You don’t need Tua, you need me! And, I won’t cost you draft capital!”.
I'm just the right age that whenever I hear "Orca" my first thought is the Jaws knock-off film with Richard Harris.
Btw, I had a stone cold killer outdoor stray cat that used to do the same thing with the mice he killed. He'd snap their necks and then he'd spend an hour or so tossing the corpses in the air and pouncing on them like they were cat toys.
dang! I thought they looked like gafftops.......seemed awfully big to be hard heads. That’s gotta hurt to chomp down on one of those.
Yeah...my cousin's husband who knows more than me said they appeared to be hard heads. I thought they looked too big as well.
