Its probably just because there was nothing left.  |
Given the size of their prey I wouldn't get too comfortable
Did some reading about their diet and found this at "http://www.whalesbc.com/
"Transient whales feed primarily on marine mammals. Transients observed in waters of B.C. and Washington State have been seen preying on seals, sea lions, dolphins, porpoises, and other species of whales. Their diet, however, isn't strictly limited to marine mammals. Transient killer whales have also been observed eating sea birds, and the stomach of a dead transient whale recovered up in Alaska contained the remains of a moose. Apparently the moose chose the wrong moment to swim from one Alaskan island to another--something that moose, deer and other land animals frequently do."
