The epic contest of a huge male Steller Sea Lion fighting for its life and a pod of hungry Transient Orca intent on making him their meal! Filmed both from the boat and the drone, this desperate battle for survival went on for hours, a highly unusual event for Orca, who are usually able to kill and eat their prey in a matter of minutes. But this Sea Lion was not going down without a fight! Watch as he boldly fends them off again and again, watching for the orca to stray too close so he can tear into them! It was to no avail though, in spite of his strength and skill he was no match for the sophisticated team strategies of the Orca.
Filmed in Icy Strait Alaska, by Capt Josh of Alaska Whale and Drone Tours while on a tour.
