    Nature is brutal, and you don’t get the name ‘killer whale’ for nothing.

    We went with orcas in the headline, but you get the drift.

    This drone footage comes from Monterey Bay in California, and is almost certainly going to make that animal-loving friend of yours cry.

    Probably best you don’t show it to them (and avoid the walrus scene from Our Planet, too), with CBS News reporting below:

    Dramatic footage shows a group of killer whales methodically ram, isolate and kill a gray whale calf passing through Monterey Bay with its mother, on Saturday…

    The young whale desperately tries to escape while the mother rolls over to protect her baby, but the outcome is inevitable. The killer whales will have their meal.

    It took about four hours for five orcas to batter and kill the calf, even as its mother tried to defend it.

    The pair were traveling to Alaska during spring migration.

    Clearly, that didn’t go to plan. You’re about to see some blood in the water:

    An effective attack, but our local orcas win this round because they take down great white sharks.

    It’s the circle of life…
