Yes. Whales are shockingly smart. Most of the cases when humpback whales disrupt orca hunts, the orcas are hunting a completely different species. Humpback whales have even been observed carrying seals to protect them from orcas. In one case, when a pod of orcas killed a gray whale calf, a group of humpback whales came and blocked the orcas from reaching the gray whale's body, even though it was already dead. They just wanted to prevent the orcas from eating. In another case, after a pod of orcas killed a seal, a group of humpback whales arrived too late, and the orcas took the seal's body and showed it to the humpback whales as if taunting them.
