They don’t call them killer whales for nothing (video)

The sight of a killer whale throwing a sea lion into the air isn't something you get to see every day. Thanks to Louis Jobidon , we have that opportunity.

The sight of a killer whale throwing a sea lion into the air isn't something you get to see every day.

Thanks to Louis Jobidon, we have that opportunity.

The video, shot in February off Hornby Island and posted to YouTube earlier this month, includes a slow-motion section where the orca tosses one of the sea lions.

In the comments, Louis explains the attack went on for an hour. He was recording from his kayak.

If you're looking for other marine spectacles, Louis has lots more on his YouTube channel.
