Orcas are apex predators and are known for their intelligence and hunting strategies. They use various techniques to catch sea lions, including:
* Beaching themselves: Orcas have been observed swimming onto beaches to ambush sea lions that are resting on the shore.
* Creating waves: Some pods of orcas have developed the ability to create waves with their bodies to wash sea lions off rocks or into the water.
* Cooperative hunting: Orcas often work together to hunt sea lions, surrounding their prey and using their powerful tails to disorient them.
The relationship between orcas and sea lions is a complex one, with populations of both species adapting to each other's behavior.
