Orcas Playing & Juggling with Green Sea Turtle in Galapagos Islands

Lead guide aboard M/V Evolution, Rafael Pesantes, spotted the Orca pod going after the sea turtle on May 29, 2016 in the Galapagos and quickly set off with the passengers to follow the developing scene.
It’s extremely rare to see an Orca tossing a sea turtle in the air. This video was taken by Phil Courter in the Bolivar Channel in the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Fernandina Island.
