A few, rare animals push against the boundaries of their world and redefine what's possible.

A killer whale named Maga is one.

She has learned to break free of the ocean's shackles.

Overcoming instinct, she rushes toward shore and hurtles onto land.

Maga's hunting technique is key not just for her own survival, she must also feed her family, and then teach the young to take her place in the killing school.

Orcas, also known as killer whales, are the ocean's top predators.

They hunt around the globe, giving chase wherever prey leads.

But even orcas have their limits.

Instinct warns them to avoid the shallows.

When an orca strands, its skin can dry out quickly, and it will die.
