Orcas were being captured around that same time for theme parks..... they probably didn’t trust any boats in the area

[@aichanaciry8252]

actually the orca capture in this time was in iceland not in galapagos island

[@Christ_Is_Life10-10]

The Orcas definitely knew what they were doing. They know what is food and what’s not. It’s hard to know what their intent was but if they felt threatened it would make sense that they would attack or it could be rough house play. Who knows?

[@charlesshelton2704]

Lookingforbeansat3a.m I love killer whales. The bull male has a large dorsal fin. The female has a small dorsal fin. Sometimes their fin are called sharky. It shapes like a shark fin. Have you ever seen the movie Orca?

[@mercedes4879]

Charles Shelton not on all orcas. Bulls can have 6 ft dorsal fins and females are shorter but depending on the type of orca, the fins can be more triangular than shark shaped.

[@zooemperor3954]

All things Comic if the orcas were Megalodon chow, then why are orcas still around while Megalodon died out? Spoiler alert: Megalodon was outcompeted by both great white sharks and orcas

Strange. Orcas generally don't attack humans in the wild.

[@stevesmith1383]

you legit wrote "generally" in your own comment, implying it's not a definite. as is, the Orcas rammed a boat, they didn't attack any humans and on top of that, it's not like most of human history is recorded. there are no known wild orcas killing humans. key word being known, plus it's bound to happen eventually

[@coreylucas5346]

Agreed. This seems Fake. Orcas RARELY do this.

[@heidikickhouse-]

@@coreylucas5346 Before sounding so authoritative, you might want to check yr facts. It's an ever-evolving environment with dwindling resources. Orcas are well known for their intelligence and planned coordinated attacks. They have intentionally killed humans before. Just on KZbin (no actual scientific research required) there are many MANY accounts of this exact boat-ramming behavior. I'm concerned that you confidently spread misinformation that might recklessly put others in danger. Thank you.
