Otter Jumps On Guy’s Boat To Escape Orca | The Dodo

Some friendships are based on common interests. Some are a matter of life and death, like when an Orca is chasing you. You literally provider that otter with a life boat.

Yeah that's a risky move on their part. An Orca weighs 8000 pounds and could crush that boat. He probably was fairly pissed.

@@mynameisgladiator1933 That’s not what I’m doubting. You wrote it was a risky move to allow the otter on the boat? Is that correct? My reply was in response to that part of your statement, because it has been documented in the past of other wildlife animals also jumping onto boats to escape the different pods of orcas. Although, I’ll admit that pretty much anything can be risky. Including me sitting here writing this reply. Hope that clears everything up and that you have a wonderful day/night.

[@mynameisgladiator1933]

@@jo-vf8jx All I'm saying is an Orca is a top of the chain predator and you're in his world, he weighs 8000 pounds, you'd have to be nuts to steal an 8000 pound animals food. Just because they don't generally mess with people, it is not true that they never have. Also, I'm not a big fan of humans picking winners in the fight for life in the wild. That boat stole that Orca's dinner. If I was that Orca, at the very least I'd do a nice big belly flop next to the boat to give those humans something to ponder.

This is actually a big issue for nature conservation because animals that people think are cute tend to get disproportionate funding over protecting wildlife and ecosystems. I love dogs and cats but at the end of the day protecting wild animals and our ecosystem is much more important than stray dogs or cats, which get way more money.

@@mzple ah yeah, I totally agree that what you mentioned about people just caring about “cute” animals is a huge problem. One thing to note though, is that stray domestic dogs and cats can actually affect wild animals really negatively too though, by taking over their habitats and hunting animals who live in them.

My goodness that poor little otter was absolutely petrified. The natural world is both incredibly beautiful but also incredibly brutal and unforgiving. As horrible as it can be to see these predatory behaviours, it’s actually what makes animals stronger because they have to adapt, evolve, overcome and this only happens in a challenging environment.

@@wesleydonnelly2141 Being a Brit you may not understand how the American media and the powers that be have twisted the facts. Trump has hired many blacks and had a black woman prominently featured on his tv show, whereas Biden voted against desegregation, and gave the eulogy at a KKK member’s funeral, but Trump is the racist. The truth is that Trump was a political outsider who used his own money to finance his campaign, therefore he was beholden to no one. That threatened the status quo, so he had to be done away with, and that was accomplished through a massive character assassination plan carried out by the media.

For all the people saying the otter was too tired to make it to land: it is a *sea otter* not a seal. Sea otters don't live on land. They spend their entire lives floating on their backs or swimming in the ocean. (They even sleep and give birth in the water.) As long as no predatory animals came along afterwards, she was fine.
