☆ Killer Whales Targeting Boats Could End Badly for the Orcas
  + stars: | 2023-06-20 | by ( Kelsey Vlamis | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Killer whales near Spain and Portugal have been confronting, and even sinking, boats. The killer whales typically approach the ship from behind and then try to strike the rudder until the boat is immobilized. People online have joked the killer whales are "orcanizing" an "orca rebellion," with many social media users rooting for the whales. But the result could be an increase in fear of killer whales in the popular imagination, similar to what the movie "Jaws" did for sharks. In reality, killer whales — which got their names from hunting other whales — do not pose a significant risk of harm to humans.

☆ Some of the 30 killer whales captured doing flips and playing near boats in California were the same orcas that attacked a pair of gray whales and tried to eat them alive

Around 30 killer whales were spotted playing in Monterey Bay for more than eight hours on Sunday. Six of the whales were also captured in April attacking adult gray whales in a rare encounter. "It was the best killer whale encounter I've had and I've been studying them for 30 years," Nancy Black, a marine biologist with Monterey Bay Whale Watch and director of the nonprofit California Killer Whale Project, told Insider. Monterey Bay Whale Watch said the gray whales ultimately survived the attack but were badly injured. The unusual playful display comes as killer whales near Spain and Portugal have increasingly been damaging and even sinking boats.
