Whales are having a downright defiant 2015. Just weeks after a giant blue whalebrazenly interrupted a BBC interview (an interview about whales, no less), a frustrated orca has been documented punting a seal roughly 80 feet into the air without a single ounce of remorse. If you're pressed for time and can't be bothered with a one-minute documentary (see above), here's the punt moment:

The video's description doesn't offer much in the way of an explanation, which isn't surprising given that apparently none of the people behind the camera know how to speak whale and/or seal. For theories on the chain of events that eventually inspired this remarkable (and presumably fatal) punt, we turn to the dark depths of Twitter:
