There's no confirmed cases of it happening. There's basically a few anecdotes from people who claimed to see it and a deer carcass was found by some scuba divers off the coast of Vancouver that looked liked a killer whale might have chewed on it. That's it, there's no hard evidence. It may happen but if it does it's very rare and is probably more a case of mistaken identity then actual intentional hunting of moose.

I remember seeing a video of some guy doing that. He was riding his bike down the street and his birds would fly along with him.

I'm not going to get pulled in to a debate about what counts as a "sea cliff". This sounds like one of those things where among the locals in Milford Sound it's an accepted truth that their Mitre Peak is the highest sea cliff in the world, but literally everyone else in the world, including lots of smart geologists, says it's the sea cliffs at molokai. You live your truth, the rest of us will live ours.

The air is neutrally buoyant. It's not that it contributes a small amount to the weight, it contributes zero. For example if you had a cup filled with nothing but air and weighed it the air won't affect your reading at all because the weight of that air is 0 when you're in Earth's atmosphere.

The thing is it probably is intentional, or at the very least willfully ignorant, but proving that would be next to impossible without a whistleblower. It seems like hospitals routinely issue outrageous bills and then chalk it up to a "mistake" when they're called out on it. The strategy seems to be to pad the bill as much as possible and then let the insurance company/patient argue it down if they're so inclined.

They don't swim "across the ocean". New Caledonia is about 750 miles off the coast of Australia. The eels swim maybe 1,200 miles. That's comparable to what salmon do. It's plenty impressive without trying to make it sound like they cross the Pacific.

Salmon will cross roads to get to spawning areas: https://youtu.be/wZt4jJEkhWM Salmon are pretty badass. They pretty much work their bodies to death getting up river. By the end of their journey it's like the walking dead.
