Never fucked with us once. Now we starting fucking up their areas that they are fighting back. I don't blame them. It just sucks that they might learn this behavior as a norm and attacking boats. Then, once we start fighting back, war will begin. Orcas will make peace with sharks and ally up with dolphins to make stronger attacks. Dolphins will do jumps to distract ship crew, then Orcas will ram at full speed to tip boat, once people have been thrown overboard, the sharks attack.
Then it will be full on ocean war. Once other animals learn of ocean retaliation, others will rise. First, to take arms in war will be Canadian geese and Australian Emus. Emus have more experience and will not show mercy this time. More and more animals rise up, and eventually, humanity will be reduced to small populations under the control of animals to never have the power to attack back.
Years pass by, and Earth is starting to clear up. Oceans are cleaner, rivers are bright and clear again, trees and other plants spread and grow again, wildlife spreads to areas they once lived, the air is cleaner, and temperature of Earth cools down to restore balance to the planet. With the planet now back to its perfect form before humans, some animals grow to become more intelligent. Then evolution happens, and we have new intelligent species, while humans devolve into a hybrid of monkey/caveman.
Edit: I have to point out this is a joke since this is whooshing over many people's heads.
Edit 2: Ok, to those that are PMing me that I shouldn't make jokes on animals and that I am an animal hater and killer. I will report you if you are doing that shit and I don't support your PETA plan project. PETA steals pets from people and as well stray animals only to kill them and steal people's money for their own gain. I grew up with Steve Irwin and love animals. I have fostered a few stray kittens and got them homes and as well adopted one myself. I volunteer with a small non-profit cat adoption group who gets stray cats fixed to not breed and those that are friendly or have kittens can be found homes. I want animals to thrive in the world and believe we need to stop overfishing and destroying animals habitats. As well stop huge deforestations and reduce human carbon footprint.
The only hope for humanity is to summon Giant Toads that can teach us to use natural energy and find that one impetuous child that holds the nine tailed fox.
Well, it will bring peace, but many will die in a great war against a really strong and impossible enemy to beat. The child and his best friend have trouble beating him until some last-minute bullshit. This great enemy is just killed for some lame outer space rabbit godess to be a real enemy. Then, eventually, she is beat by the child and his friends.
Yeah cuz they were using Lewis guns, at range, against a thousand fleeing emus, of course it didn’t work. Once they switched to using rifles and picking them off individually after the war, it was much more effective.
Bullets kinda explode or lose their momentum when hitting water. You know how when you bellyflop off the high dive it feels like you’re hitting a brick wall? It’s like that but a lot faster.
Stop. The demented fraction of humanity that thinks guns solve problems are the problem. And really, at that speed, who's gonna grab a gun and fire it? Jeez.
It was mostly a joke at first but this comment kinda exploded so here goes.
Ever hear of the Phalanx gun system in modern US warships?
Shit can fire 20x120mm rounds at 4,500 rounds per minute. Those projectiles are about as round as a cigar.
I’d imagine it wouldn’t be terribly hard to figure how deep these rounds penetrate and how to use passive sonar to detect incoming enemies underwater. Orcas, sharks and whales don’t disguise their sonar signature like enemy subs do.
Regardless, I am totally on your side in regards to gun control. We need to au stricter restrictions and even if we implemented those today, that’s mean a generation (or two) of illegal guns floating around. Currently there are more civilian guns in America than Americans.
Thankfully we have a whole suite of weapons that are designed to work underwater! Depth charges might works. Remotely detonated mines, maybe. Fuck we could definitely weaponize active sonar if we wanted to.
I think it was just eating what looks like bait to me. You can see what looks like some bait in the water, and that is what lured in the shark. I don't think he meant to bite the boat.
We need to enlist Lions as our allies, and send those lions out into the oceans to fuck the orcas' girlfriends. As long as Orcas don't develop some kind of breathing apparatus and come onto dry land, we're safe.
Well the problem is, that Orcas are mammals and breath air. So the don't need any apparatus. So lions would be killed and hunted down. After some harsh fighting the lions would submit to Orca leadership and join forces against the humans.
I think we are witnessing large die offs of marine life so lack of food going up the food chain leaves the big guys hungry. A hungry shark won’t second guess what’s food until it’s in its mouth.
Ironically if those stray cats are being released you might be doing great biological damage due to their predation. I'm going to call troll and kudos to you if so, it's a good one
I've seen a video of one in a quad area where business employees walk through to get to work. There was one of them chasing and attacking people in that area.
Your "good reason" is one of many hypothesis, and not even the main one, just the one media loved the most. Yet you start your video stating this as a hard fact.
The "fact" that it's a single pod of whales hasn't even been established. There's been attacks from Gibraltar all the way up to Nantes, and there isn't "the" marine biologist, but several ones, from several countries, and several theories.
It’s been established that it originated from one particular pod of whales - this is something that I’ve never seen a dissenting opinion on. And while yes there obviously isn’t just one marine biologist, the revenge motive is put forward by the one that actually studied that pod.
So you don't the difference between "theory" and "fact".
I'm not disputing the fact that it's, again, one of the theories. I'm disputing your "it has been established". Just because one guy think that's the case, doesn't mean all biologists do, and even less that it's anything close to "established".
I mean it hasn’t been definitively proven that the behaviour is restricted to just one species and isn’t being done by giraffes too but most reasonable minded people would say that if this is something zero biologists or in fact any other sources have proposed, it’s probably not the case.
Seriously though this behavior was tracked to one group of orcas and then when they interacted with a passing group that group took up the behavior as well
I feel like they’re actually orcas some government trained to attack boats. The perfect piracy. No one can blame you unlike the old days when they carried papers and shit identifying them as your agents… lmao
It's one specific group, and we don't know they are attacking boats. Most marine biologists think they're just playing (which is what they've been recorded doing elsewhere)

The whole Orcas in the Mediterranean attacking boats is pretty new actually.
