When hunting any type of seal, Killer Whales are silent hunters. When prey is located, they use their sonar, to listen to their own clicking sounds, as well as their pod's. They also use their sonar to listen to the seals swimming pattern. They usually attack in a group (Pod), with the more experienced leading the attack. By circling their prey, Killer whales make sure it is too far out in the water, to escape to land. They bite at the seals stomach, and will hold it until it is lifeless, but in most cases it is killed by the horrific injuries inflicted by the whales bite, also by being tossed around.
