PING!..................

Killer Whales.

Not Cuddly Sea Puppies.

Why is the blinking obvious so surprising to people?

I was planning to add some cooked, diced chicken to my
mushroom gumbo, but - great white shark's livers -
Why didn't I think of that! It's culinary genius!

Mmmmm.....

She might be a little chubby but I wouldn’t call her a whale.

And that Great White looks half decomposed. Are you sure she is eating it?

[Jeff Chandler]

In before the blowing up a whale video.

Would somebody please post that?

[bantam]

Killer whales upset about global warming probably!
It probably caused their feeding frenzy!

People are shocked by this because Disney has anthromorphized every animal. So many kids are growing up with the mentality that animals have human instincts and reason.

I saw this video some years back: Penguin saves itself from certain death

It was hilarious, because it leaped into the boat and the people didn't even see it come in from their blind side until it was standing in the middle of all of them.. There were two things that stuck out at me:

1. First, if I had been swimming for my life to escape those things, I wouldn't have the gumption of this penguin to stand on the slippery side of the boat and stare those Orcas in the face...I would have been lying in the floor of the boat in terror. It was almost like the penguin was taunting them!
   
   
   
2. Secondly, the reaction of the whales is interesting. They are not even going to mess with the humans in the boat, even though they could swamp, kill, and eat ALL of them without even breaking a sweat! But the only reaction is that one of the orcas sticks its head out of the water to examine the boat, the humans, and the penguins, then they all swim quietly away.
   
   It is as if they know the hunt is over, and they aren't going to mess with humans for a penguin, and...the penguin seems to know this as well.
   
   At the risk of anthropomorphizing them, it makes me wonder if they understand they don't want humans actually hunting them because they killed and ate some, and its better to just leave them alone. I can't think of any other reason than to ascribe that level of awareness to them.

I didn’t know that Stacey Abrams liked shark meat.

One shark to another shark: “I thought we were the top of the food chain?”

Am I the only one who can’t find a working link to the video?

What worries me is that the lady voice on the video seems to imply at the end, that researchers should do something about this. An elitist concept of managing nature. The area near south Africa is teaming with fish and seals such that every creature that dies causes hundreds down the food chain to thrive. So a few orcas killing a few white sharks between both of them gorging on seals and cod is best left to nature to discover the correct balance or even imbalance if its time for a species to go. Species disappear every day. And new ones come into existence at a similar pace.

“It’s too early to tell whether these killer whales are learning the shark-hunting technique from their forebears”

They saw it on YouTube. Duh.

Tastes like chicken.

You know it's coming:

• La Niña's Shock Return Suggests Important Details Are Missing in Climate Models [10/05/2022]

[Gaffer]

..."it will have wider reaching impacts on shark populations and will need to be considered in future studies."

Read this as "it's likely due to climate change and we need MORE MONEY!" First and ONLY captured 'footage' and this becomes an imperative?

"Coulda used some of them when me and me mates was floatin' 'round after the USS Indianapolis got sunk..."

[LibertarianLiz]

"This behavior has never been witnessed in detail before, and certainly never from the air,"

Well, maybe not from the air; but, I do remember watching a documentary showing an Orca taking on and winning the fight, with a great white shark. It was somewhere in CA; and, a tourist boat and the tourists within, saw the whole thing.
