They can tire the whale out by chasing it down, just like wolves do when chasing down a bison, elk, moose or deer. Then they take opportunistic hits and bites to its sides. Eventually the whale tires too much to go on and they close in. If there are no infants they will attack the large whales as well by using a similar strategy and drowning the whale by jumping on it and biting at its throat.
