A rare white orca has appeared off the coast of the Kuril Islands, drawing the attention of marine researchers and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Observers captured the unusual marine predator on video while it hunted in open water. Rare White Orca Filmed During Hunt The video published by Smotri Expeditions Telegram channel shows an R-type fish-eating orca chasing prey in the Pacific Ocean. According to the expedition team, these orcas feed primarily on fish species such as salmon, halibut, and greenling. Scientists rarely encounter white individuals in the wild, and experts believe the animal's unusual coloration may result from albinism. Researchers continue to study orca feeding behavior by analyzing samples collected from hunting areas. Marine biologists say the predators adapt their hunting techniques depending on the size and type of prey they pursue.
