Fisherman have managed to film rare scenes of whales hunting in the Red Sea, just off the Saudi Arabian coast.
The whales, known as Orcas or killer whales could be seen catching and eating dolphins.
The fishermen were fascinated by the presence of these large creatures. They were also afraid as can be seen by the comments as the whales swam under their boats.
The last time these whales appeared in the Red Sea was three years ago in the Gulf of Aqaba. Maritime environment experts are appealing for studies to shed more light on the population of these whales in this part of the world.
