A lot of them are half white. Just sayin’. As to the attacks, either OMB or glowbull discombobulation.

Coffee through my nose on that comment. Could 2020 get any more bizarre.

Whales “sleep” while still moving by turning off half of their brain, while still being on a commo frequency with the fully awake whales pacing it on either side, which may be 100s of yards apart.
The working assumption among ocean sailors is that sailing yachts, moving in silence on the ocean, sometimes strike and injure “half sleeping” whales.
BOOM! Waldo the whale has a concussion, broken ribs, and is bleeding. Other whales? WHO DID THAT!
That sailboat over there! Get that bastard! Look what it did to Waldo!
Vessels under motor power don’t do this, the whales are alerted by the engine noise and move out of their path.
Sailboats have also been hit by submarine periscopes and other above-water arrays, the subs being totally unaware of the presence of the silent sailboat.

A couple of buddies and I went out bottom fishing in his 20 foot ski boat when one breached right beside our boat in Cresent City harbor. Makes you realize your not at the top of the chain on the Pacific ocean.

Going back to the incident at 18: Once their wood yacht was sunk, and the human crew took to very flimsy rubber dinghies, the killer whales had no interest in them, or they’d have been easily killed and eaten.
It seems the Orca rage was directed at the boat, presumably for striking one of them, and not at their human crew.

Certainly a result of:
- Climate change
- Systemic racism
- Trump

“... while still moving by turning off half of their brain...” You mean they’re like dems in their normal state? :-)

Yes. We were in a fiberglass boat too.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this resulted from a “do not feed the bears” type of situation. Some enviro-whacko Disney Free Willy fans take it upon themselves to make friendly with the Orcas and feed them, and the pod then comes to expect snacks from each passing boat.

Who had raging killer whales on their 2020 bingo card? This may be the Post of the Month, and a finalist for Post of the Year.

Watch part I of David Attenborough’s ‘Frozen Planet’. Amazing how Orcas coordinate their attacks against their prey. I was blown away.
