AdvertisementSome sailors are beginning to take their ongoing battle against marauding orcas up a notch: blasting heavy metal music to try to scare away the marine mammals.
Rutsch heard through the grapevine that blaring heavy metal music from underwater speakers might deter the apex predators — and the idea even came with a shared Spotify playlist, called 'Metal for Orcas,' specially curated by other sailors, The New York Times reported.
Even if orcas did initially hate heavy metal, with their uncanny ability to communicate and adapt, they may have already gotten used to the rockin' tunes.
