A New Zealand storm blew in something truly unexpected. According to SunLive, residents of the Pukehina beach area of the country found a scary-looking "sea monster" on their shore after a recent storm. A series of violent storms last week blew the creature's carcass onto the beach. Onlookers first believed the grisly 9-meter find was the remains of a prehistoric sea creature. Now, after a more thorough examination, experts believe it was the decomposed body of an Orca whale. One can make out a set of large teeth on the ...

Laura and Rich Howard were on vacation in La Paz, Mexico, when they captured breathtaking footage of a 20-member killer whale pod leaping out of the water right near their boat, according to "Today." The Howards were celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary with a scuba diving trip abroad. The couple was diving and playing with a group of sea lions for about 25 minutes when their dive master called them back to the boat. Annoyed at first by the brevity of their dive, the reason soon became apparent when they saw the dorsal fins of approximately 20 killer whales headed right for them.

Not wanting to interfere with the marine animals, which included a mother and her calf, the diver carefully moved to some nearby rocks to give the whales space. The diver's dog, lost in a game of fetch, was not as ...

Killer whales get their name because of what they eat. Other sea creatures are on the menu all the time. According to SeaWorld, killer whales eat everything from fish to other whales, walruses and even sea otters. In this case, these orcas are hunting a sea otter mother and baby. One whale nabs the baby, but the mother escapes by jumping onto a boat. You can see some beautiful shots of the hunting whales circling the craft and the mother as she climbs onto the deck to escape. The poor young otter doesn't make it (spoiler alert), but the mother will hopefully survive to make more babies. Nature in action! SAD PICS: 50-FT. WHALE FOUND DEAD IN BOSTON HARBOR: ...
