The footage appears to capture the killer whale striking the large fish at speed and then interacting with it as pieces float in the sea, a behaviour that observers say may be part of orca predation or social interaction with this unusual prey species.

A stunning encounter with a mola mola - or ocean sunfish - off the coast of the Farallon Islands. These unique fish are the heaviest bony fish on the planet, weighing up to 5,000 pounds and measuring up to 10 feet!
