These smart mammals are giving fishermen off the Crozet Islands in the Southern Ocean a run for their money by eating their catch before they haul it in. Studies suggest that the richer their diets, and the less effort they have to make to get a good meal, the more babies female killer whales produce. Stealing a ready-made lunch off a fisherman’s line can make a significant difference to the reproductive rates of these animals that can live to over 90 years of age.
