Off topic but while searching YOUTUBE for killer whales I came across this lovely little clip of an encounter with a sperm whale set to lovely music.
I didn’t “like” the way the whale kept opening his mouth when near humans but I see that one of the comments thought the whale was smiling!

Incredible. Just think how much energy it takes to accelerate 16,000 pounds upwards through water to get 15 feet up in the air.Shhhhh...the left will try to harness that as renewable energy.

Don’t get me wrong, I’s fully on board with nature being a royal biotch ;)

It says the Orca appeared to be playing with its food.
To me, the description of the hunt makes the killer whales sound like they are giant swimming ......cats?

Comments like yours always remind me of the story a few years back that detailed a planned elk hunt in Yellowstone that was being conducted to cull the herd of diseased animals that had the potential to kill off the entire herd.
If I remember right, a couple of animal rights fanatics attempted to hike in from the other end of the valley to disrupt the shoot and scatter the herd, but on the way they were mauled by a grizzly.
I can't help but shake my head when I'm reminded of their self inflicted demise.

LOL! Animals are going to be animals. That’s why they are called animals. Unfortunately, kids aren’t being taught that fact anymore. They think animals can talk. Okay! So that camel on the “hump day” commercial can talk but I’ve never seen any other animals talking. LOL!

Animals are going to be animals. Thats why they are called animals.
Are you saying animals don’t sing, play together and wear pants? Oh no! Disney lied to me!

I always tell my kids when they have reservations about eating meat, ‘Just remember they would eat you in a heartbeat if they could.”

The orcas should have to take a sensitivity course. It should be explained to them why it’s evil to kill animals and eat meat. Then they’ll all be put on a vegan diet.

Glad to see it. I hate dolphins, they interfere with my tuna salads.

The orca probably mistook the dolphin for a seal or a guy on a surfboard.
