Orca Playing With Its Food Flips Seal 80-Feet Into The Air Over Pacific Ocean

VICTORIA, British Columbia (CBS SF) -- An orca playing with its food flipped a seal dozens of feet into the sky in the waters off British Columbia in an incident caught on camera.

A Roll Focus Productions film crew had their cameras rolling as the orca launched the seal 80-feet into the air with its tail.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.  That seal went 80-feet up in the air!" someone aboard the boat can be heard saying during the video.

Wildlife experts say the killer whale was just playing with its food.
