If there is an abundant and nutritious species of prey, then specialization may occur; while generalist feeding could be due to the lack of predictability and abundance of any specific prey type [28,65]. The beaked whale was next seen at the surface, with considerable surface activity and splashing, and at least two killer whales alongside it. New research shows that groups of beaked whales can reduce predation risk by coordinating deep dives and stealthy ascents.
