It allows fun to exist Tara but yes, it itself is anything but fun to attain
And this video is fun to watch.
True, the orcas are called
"Killer Whales"
again.
Well, let's be honest, they
are
killers.
Amazing that free orcas never killed a human.
The video also shows orcas hunting, but nothing graphic.
As almost always I've read some comments.
This one is extremely funny.
"There’s no evidence of these whales killing humans in the wild.
But imagine if they were just intelligent enough to hide the evidence."
I should tag
Hungry
to scare the s.h.i.t out of him…for the good times. -

I could only get as far as #8 Tara before I wanted to eat those Americans noising up the waters myself - and I'm not even in the water or have super sensitive hearing by nature!
There are a bunch of areas with beautiful beaches and coves across the world were it is illegal to use an engine boat or jet skis to preserve the serenity for the wildlife such as whales and dolphins. They are generally next to highly exclusive five star resorts (Go figure) and I'd imagine animals such as these would prefer it there.
There's always shore viewings of breaches or peaceful ferry boats but they don't work the wonders on social media as much as the cheapest annoying 'Unique' experiences.
The video started off with a guided canoe but I highly doubt any of the passengers had ever been on the water before
They noise they make just being excited was annoying enough to hide any evidence of them being anywhere near an orca.
I'll stick to Attenborough for my wildlife being wild.

The
'noble'
Europeans are no better.
And the Scots are among the biggest hooligans.
The orca boat attacks occurred on the coast of Spain, just a reminder.
True, in the video they're neither
Trapper John MD
nor such an experienced sailor like you. But you should've watched til the end.
There's a wild orca playing so cutely with a man in his smaller boat.
Even motorboats wouldn't actually be a big problem if there weren't so many.
Planet Earth
is a great miniseries though, yah, stick with it.
Btw. how's the real

in the nursing home? -

I sometimes tell the real Juan Kerr about the boards Tara
He's holding on, his mind isn't what it used to be, but I think he's still got some fight in him yet
I know he would have asked "Which coast?" when speaking about orcas off the coast of Spain, but that's just him all over. Always a stickler for details.
I'm surprised that Scots are among the biggest hooligans in relation to orcas. In Scotland anyone who ventures out has nothing but respect for all mammalian life in the water.
But not many people venture out onto the water in Scotland unless it's in a ferry, so perhaps it's the alcohol, sunshine and easy to access day trips out in Spain which are really the problem
But, that's just Europeans for you!

Yah, the Scots row their ferries.
And the Scots are known for being silent teetotalers.

Whale found dead in Virginia was hit by a Ship
It was the third North Atlantic right whale to have died from a vessel strike in 2024…and the 40th death in the ongoing
“unusual mortality event”
, a spike in North Atlantic right whale deaths, often from vessel strikes and entanglements in fishing gear, that started in 2017.
North Atlantic right whales are critically endangered with roughly 360 individuals in existence.

I bet their auntie shamu told them some stories.
Yah, Shamu is one of the orca tragedies.
Just checked…she died in 1971.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamu
So it wasn't Shamu.
And orcas are trained, taught and guided by their mothers (matriarchy). -
TaraDeS — 1 year ago(April 03, 2024 03:46 PM)
Thank you for cleaning up the thread!
Orcas solely attacked humans when in captivity.
This young woman survived Shamu's attack back then.
A few months later Shamu died.
Who only blames Seaworld:
Don't go to whale or dolphin shows!
Don't watch movies with trained whales and dolphins!
In most areas these shows are already banned.
Take responsibility and free the Flippers by not bying tickets.
Even though they are portrayed in the movies as if they were swimming in freedom, they aren't free.
They become depressed, psychologically disturbed and die much earlier.
As so many I loved the series
Flipper
.
When they told us what happened to the five
Flipper
actors, I was deeply shocked.
Here's a more recent article from 2021 with a short video.

Across the world you can visit aquariums that treat marine animals well.
English subs available.
She's right in what she said and I also recommend the Aquarium at the Berlin Zoo. -

Orcas spotted hundreds of Miles from where they should be!
Orcas that have been terrorizing boats in southwest Europe since 2020 were recently spotted circling a vessel in Spain for the first time this year. The close encounter, which took place hundreds of miles from where the cetaceans should currently be, hints that this group is switching up its tactics — and scientists have no idea why.
Since 2020, individuals from this group have been approaching and occasionally attacking boats, sometimes causing serious damage to the vessels and even sinking them. The most recent sinking occurred on Oct. 31, 2023, but the orcas have sent at least three other boats to the bottom of the sea.
However,
no humans have been injured or killed.
….
….
So far, at least 16 different individuals have attacked boats. Eyewitnesses also claim to have seen orcas teaching other individuals how to attack boats, with an emphasis on attacking vessels' rudders to immobilize them.
There is also a suggestion that the behavior may have spread outside the population after a boat in Scotland was attacked by a different group in June 2023. It's impossible to prove this attack was connected to the others.
As the number of attacks has increased, boat owners have started using firecrackers and even guns to scare off the orcas, gCiencia reported. Scientists like López Fernandez have urged for restraint because the
subpopulation is
"in danger of extinction"
.
"We want to transmit real and truthful information,"
López Fernandez said.
"We're not going to hide that the orcas can touch the boats and sometimes break something, but we also have to be aware that what we have in front of us is not a monster."

Orcas again sink Yacht near Strait of Gibraltar - Two people rescued
Two people were rescued after orcas hit the roughly 50-foot Alboran Cognac 14 miles off the coast of Morocco, the 26th orca encounter in the region this year.
The Rock of Gibraltar seen from a ferry in the Strait of Gibraltar last year.
The boat-sinking orcas are back.
Around 9 a.m. Sunday near the Strait of Gibraltar, two people on board the roughly 50-foot Alboran Cognac reported blows to the vessel’s hull and saw damage to the rudder as water flowed into the ship, Spain’s maritime rescue agency said.
An unknown number of killer whales had struck again, after hundreds of such encounters in recent years.
Over the radio, responders told the two individuals to put on their life jackets, make sure their GPS locaters were turned on and prepare for emergency evacuation. In the meantime, Spanish and Moroccan rescue agencies began urgently working to save them, locating a nearby oil tanker and electing not to dispatch a helicopter.
After about an hour, that tanker rescued the pair 14 miles off Cape Spartel in northern Morocco, the Spanish Maritime Safety and Rescue Agency (SASEMAR) said in a news release. The boat was left adrift and soon sank.
