My god, did you see Avalanche Sharks?

But the fragrance industry is not held to the same standards. Even cosmetics that are otherwise regulated are allowed to have known carcinogens in their formulas listed just as “fragrance” or “perfume” and the manufacturers don’t have to tell you what they are. Check the labels - that shit is in everything.

Dolphins are the jerks of the sea. Orcas are the biggest species of dolphin.

Orcas have the capacity for language. They don’t just “talk”, they have unique dialects between different tribes. So, orcas in South Africa have a totally different dialect than orcas in Washington State.

There are also nomadic orcas, who travel all around. They have a completely different dialect, even though they…

I believe it, I saw the documentary......

I see them as the chimpanzees of the sea - complete dickheads but with a lot of human fans.

The worst animals in the ocean are sea otters:

Nah. Humans have a tendency to really overrate their importance in the food chain. If the sea is a buffet, we’re that pan with three dried-up carrots next to the roast beef carving board. We don’t intimidate orcas, and they don’t spare us because we’re obviously some higher-order creature. We’re just shitty food.

As much as I would love to believe this is some sort of animal kingdom holy war for ultimate supremacy, it’s likely that an orca was feeling peckish one day, figured it could take the shark, did, got a taste of that delicious liver and then honed its strategy. Then, communicated that strategy to its pod so now there…

Definitely crazy smart. My comment was more about the surprise/confusion about why this is happening now more frequently. That said, who knows what’s going on in the animal kingdom. This beef could have been building for a while and the orcas are finally tired of the shark’s shit.

Orca’s just flip the sharks over onto their backs, hold them there and the sharks go into a trance like state. After a few minutes the Orca’s starts to eat and the sharks don’t fight back. Orca’s are crazy smart and teach each other how to do this. Sharks are easy meals for the Orcas.

I read that in the Orca’s Gazette Daily. It was in the Om nom nom section.

If I’m not mistaken there has never been an attack by an Orca on a person in the wild before. In captivity? sure. But they don’t seem to care about us in the wild.

Orcas are my most favorite being on this planet and I don’t think people realize how fortunate we are that they almost NEVER threaten human beings.

Nope, you should still pretty much worry about the sharks. Neither sharks nor orcas really want to eat our boney, blubber-less backsides. Orcas just aren’t dumb enough to need to take a (often lethal) test-bite out of us to figure that out.

So if you find yourself off the coast of South Africa, just know: something is hungry, and it’s not the sharks you should be worried about.

I can’t baleen you’ve done this.
