I think sunfish are basically full of fart gases to help them float so itβd be like letting off a chemical weapon.
Any science sauce of whatβs happened
Flashbacks to the Invincible train scene.
And conquest did the same but ran him through a crowded beach
Looks like it's just some fun target practice for them.
βIf you can explode a sunfish you can sink a yachtβ - Orca Proverb
Just to fuck with you all a little. What if they are doing it because its fun to watch it explode?
Thatβs the reason. Dolphins also pick on fish just because it entertains them.
Maybe. There was a orca calf that fed on the exploded bits, while the adults left the small parts for it and only ate the bigger parts.
They made baby food.
The orca who came up with this was a genius.
I wouldn't put it past them
Probably. Orcas can behave in quite a human manner sometimes.
Good. I hate sunfish
