Killer Whales Teach Young To Hunt

Season 43 Episode 8 | 2m 42s

The team films something not seen before: an hours-long teaching session between adults and their young. Killer whales are one of only a handful of animals that actively teach their young, and it's the females that take on this duty, ensuring the survival of their families.
