Photographer Captures Dramatic Battle Between Orcas and Sperm Whales http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

If killer whales lived on land, we?d be in trouble. Highly intelligent and social, the black-and-white marine mammals hunt in packs, launching coordinated attacks on other whales and sharks, and even wave-wash seals off Antarctic ice floats. On April 18, a half-dozen orcas battled a pod of sperm whales off the southern coast of Sri Lanka. The unusual encounter is one of fewer than a dozen such recorded conflicts ? and the first observed in the Indian Ocean.
