Reply to comment by 128Gigabytes in Today I learned that there is enough evidence to suggest that orca are actually an occasional predator of moose, due to the fact that moose can dive up to 20' for vegetation underwater in killer whale territories. by Uranusspinssideways

There's no confirmed cases of it happening. There's basically a few anecdotes from people who claimed to see it and a deer carcass was found by some scuba divers off the coast of Vancouver that looked liked a killer whale might have chewed on it. That's it, there's no hard evidence. It may happen but if it does it's very rare and is probably more a case of mistaken identity then actual intentional hunting of moose.
