Orca whales and dolphins also will hunt larger prey.

One on my favorite examples is that of the orcas in Eden Australia. The orcas would shepard baleen whales to whaling vessels in the bay, then help the whalers kill them in exchange for the tongue and lips of the prey.

Not larger, but it's also speculated that orcas will hunt competing 'apex' great white sharks.

Given your name I'd expect you to have an interest in dolphins. :)
