☆ Boats that follow orca-encounter protocol may escape unscathed — but if an orca's in a particular mood, all bets are off
  + stars: | 2023-07-05 | by ( Maiya Focht | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Her team found that 63% of slightly damaged boats didn't follow protocol, compared with 36% that did. Roughly half of the damaged boats followed protocol, and the other half didn't. The protocol didn't seem to have an effect. "In very severe damage, when towing is required, we don't find significant evidence to follow or not follow our protocol," she said in the webinar. But the leading ideas are curious young orcas or defensive behavior by orcas that have been harmed before, González said in the webinar.

☆ White Gladis, the killer whale who could be behind orcas attacking boats, was pregnant when she started the 'uprising'

Scientists believe the orca White Gladis was pregnant when she started ramming into boats in 2020. White Gladis later gave birth to her calf in 2021, following a 16-18 month pregnancy. White Gladis is just one among many orcas in this apparent uprising. White Gladis first started ramming boats in the summer of 2020 and later gave birth to her calf in 2021, according to LiveScience. Many orca experts that Insider has spoken to maintain that White Gladis' behavior isn't rooted in trauma or revenge.

☆ Why killer whales won’t stop ramming boats in Spain
  + stars: | 2023-06-27 | by ( Jacopo Prisco | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +11 min
The reason why certain whales are taking such a forward interest in boats is still unclear, but experts have a couple of theories. A pod of killer whales (Orcinus orca) swims together in the Strait of Gibraltar in August. The encounter usually ends once the killer whales break the rudder or the boat comes to a complete stop. “The official recommendation is not to do anything at all, turn off the engine or lower the sails and be as uninteresting to the killer whales as possible. “But this very vulnerable little population of killer whales depends on our love for them.
