 Killer whales are the humpback whales greatest foe. Many of the whales that come into the bay bare scars from doing battle with the Orcas. Killer whales actively target mums and calves the less experienced calf being the target. Killers will take down an adult humpback and have even been known to bring down the largest whale of all the blue whale. The most prized aspect of a humpback is the large tongue, the killer whales favourite. Killer whales have been observed herding and hunting humpback whales on the western side (ocean side) of Fraser island but never in the bay. These photos taken in new Zealand.
