Flipper gets flipped! Gigantic killer whale sends dolphin somersaulting  20ft into the air | Daily Mail Online

In a dramatic display of nature’s power, a gigantic killer whale, known as an Orca, showcased its predatory prowess by sending a dolphin somersaulting 20 feet into the air off the coast of California.

Captured by 65-year-old environmental consultant Jodi Fredi, these stunning images reveal the intense encounter between the female Orca and the unfortunate dolphin. The spectacle unfolded about three miles from the shores of Santa Cruz, where Fredi resides.

Describing the fast-paced action, Jodi Fredi recounted, “The whale did a major tail throw, attempting to bat the unfortunate dolphin, and moments later, she came up from below flinging the dolphin through the air. The vision took my breath away, and according to the time stamp on my images, the toss took only one second.”

Closing in: The Orca whales are known as the 'wolves of the sea' due to their nature of hunting in packs

The sheer force of the impact caused the dolphin to soar through the air, creating a surreal and breathtaking moment. Fredi further explained that at high speeds, it is common for killer whales to use their heads to ram prey for a swift and efficient kill.
