Which outcome occurs when countershading camouflage fails in orcas?

💡 Explanation

Reduced contrast matching the water's light distribution leads to easier visual detection by prey, thereby reducing hunting success, because countershading provides effective dorsal/ventral camouflage. Therefore, predatory success diminishes rather than enhancing thermal regulation, using sound evasion, or lowering drag.
