What a strange and sad thing to happen. As that behaviour isn't usually seen in Orcas, something has to be wrong. I wonder if that male just has a "rogue temperament"?
In other species, sometimes the male kill young so that they can then mate with the female, and produce their own young. Often, the mother will be ready to mate again when her young one is no longer alive.
