I don't know if it's rare or incredibly hard to document. How do you attempt to track that? You'd need cameras in the water all over the place, all with an internet connection, and the water would have to be clear enough to see through, and the attack would have to happen right next to the camera, and someone would have to notice it.

I guess the alternative is we put a tracker in a bunch of moose and then dissect a lot of orcas and try to find the trackers.

It just seems like something we're unlikely to know how common it is for a very long time, if ever.

I thought there was an annual migratory path where moose crossed the frozen areas from Alaska to Russia, and as the warming has occured they have to cross more water now, becoming more prone for longer to orcas. Could be wrong, but I seem to remember that from some where
