Are these killer whales cannibals? They probably don't think so themselves

Researchers argue predation by mammal-eating transient killer whales is likely, with two severed fins found 2 km apart suggesting cannibalism, though scavenging is not excluded.

Summary by Phys.org
In 2022, a Russian whale researcher made a remarkable discovery on Bering Island off Russia's Pacific coast: a severed killer whale fin marked with the teeth of another killer whale. In 2024, it happened again. The two finds were two kilometers apart.
