Did we get too cocky?
>>
>>5026434
Salmon eating orcas and seal eating orcas are different races, as far apart as whties and blacks. It's a cetacean race war.
>>
Reminds me of how hippos will interrupt crocodiles while they're eating or basking. It must be boring being the top of the food chain.
>>
>>5026434
>no one knows why
maybe it’s because humpback’s fucking hate them for killing and eating the tongues of their babies?
>>

Even pilot whales can mog orcas
>>
>>5026528
Don't certain pods of Orcas kidnap pilot whale pups and keep them as "pets"
>>
>>5026556
Calves* forgot the stupid borrowed nomenclature

Whales are smart. They can tell this orca is a threat to its pups. How do you stop that? Well stop them from eating. Forcing them to fuck off or die.

i despise orcas for being so ruthless and often unnecessary cruel. sometimes i wish i was a sperm whale bull weighting 70 tons so i could hunt down those black and white fat niggers all across the west coast.

Anything just to void admitting an intelligent animal that feels compassion.

Baleen whales like the humpback whale don't echolocate and they're not social animals. Only toothed whales do/are.

Orcas ram the babies of whales to death and then eat them in front of the mother.

Orcas are literally the niggers of the sea.

Orcas will kill dolphins and porpoises for fun and not even eat them.

Yeah that probably will do the job pretty effectively.

They so are this. Look no further than all the faggots in Seattle who idolize these sadistic cretin creatures.
>>
>>5026550
orcas are literally the homo erectus of the ocean
there are two tribes, fish eaters and mammal eaters

the mammal eaters eat the fish eaters, and each other. they're retarded savages and psychologically torture their prey (clearly intelligent seals). compared to cetaceans seals are basically fairies, marginally intelligent silly little guys that can't harm you, so it makes sense that orcas that eat them are mean fucks. these are the orcas that allied with humans and wanted paid in whale tongues.

the fish eaters are the "civilized" orca that don't go around murdering the cetacean equivalent of fairies or their fellow whales, but they do engage in ritual killings of harbor porpoises and then parade their corpses around until they get bored.
>>
>>5026434
Interesting fact: Orcas don't even have eyes. They are blind.

And genitals. They eat tongues, lips and genitals, and leave the rest.
Nature's got some dark kinks in it.

Certainly blind to the consequences of their behaviors.

>>5028314
>the mammal eaters eat the fish eaters, and each other
Cannibalism is the one thing that hasn’t been observed in orcas. They avoid or ignore each other
>>
>>5028387
They do commit infanticide through, which is often connected to cannibalism in the animal kingdom

>>5028390
>which is often connected to cannibalism in the animal kingdom
But not in this case. That calf was not consumed, nor has any other known instance of infanticide involved cannibalism. Not to mention how rare infanticide in orcas is in the first place
>>
>>5028420
It probably happens more often than it's been documented
>>
No one flips shit when a seal kills a penguin.
an Orca eats a seal and suddenly it’s a savage animal.

I see you seals.
Get off my board.
>>
>>5028423
Oh but when you eat a fish it's totally ok? Fuck off, penguin. #fishlivesmatter
>>
orcas need to be taught a lesson. just send a sub near a pod and launch one ping at them. they will never hunt in those waters again.
>>
>>5028421
And until it’s documented there’s no evidence of it
>>
>>5026434
revenge for the orcas who started hunting whales, apparently this may be the cause of why whales have started going silent, orcas deciphered their code and used it to hunt them.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/why-do-pilot-whales-chase-killer-whales-near-iceland-180978758/

“Then the killer whales just went silent,” says Samarra, a biologist and lead investigator of the Icelandic Orca Project. As the whistling grew stronger a group of pilot whales came into view, and the killer whales seemed to turn and swim away.

“It’s quite unusual because the killer whale is this top predator,” says Anna Selbmann, a doctoral candidate at the University of Iceland who is supervised by Samarra. “It’s very unusual that they’re afraid of anything—or seemingly afraid.”

Interactions between killer and pilot whales have only been scientifically documented a few times, and Samarra is among the first scientists to have observed this behavior in Iceland. Since the 2015 encounter, she’s seen similar interactions around 20 times.

Yeah, its strange. There's a literal race war going on in the ocean.

It's mostly other cetaceans beating up orcas because orcas are the only cetacean that preys on other cetaceans.

It's called soft meat, animals would be eating your tongue and dick first if you died in the wild.

Keep coping sealfag straight up lying lmfao
Meanwhile orcachads will keep on slinging seals into the air and stealing whale calves for the lolz
>>
>>5029989
Because fish are easier prey and orcas mostly eat fish as well. They have to be hungry to try their luck against a whale, and even then, adults are out of the equation, especially males which are the biggest and most aggressive. There have been reports of sperm whales ramming orcas with their giant heads after stunning them with 150dB clicks.
>>
>>5030692
Mammal eating orcas won't eat fish and fish eating orcas won't eat mammals. Many ecotypes are even more specific like the Southern Resident orcas which will only eat Chinook salmon and not touch any other fish.

I know that it's inappropriate to humanize animals too much, but it seems absurd to me that humans should be the only creatures on the planet with real empathy.
Are we really the only creatures in the world that will look at a guinea pig and think, "Yeah, that's cute. I'm going to love them and protect them?"
I doubt it. Whales are smart creatures. They know what they're doing.

1) That's an AI image from facebook.

2) No, it's well known that humpback whales have this primitive instinctive drive to harass Orcas whenever they hear orcas squealing to each other. Orcas during hunts typically stay silent until they reach their prey and then start vocalizing.
So humpbacks usually approach orcas just then they are about to catch their prey. That's it.
I distinctly remember finding a link with an interview with a scientist who simply stated outright that from his decades of observation, humpbacks are simply very dumb in comparison to orcas and sperm whales.
Can't find the link for that on my HD but I do remember reading that.
Sperm whales are the only whale that ever learned how to avoid whaling ships.
Humpbacks and blue whales never did.
So humpbacks and blue whales suffered far greater population declines than sperm whales.

https://www.globalcoral.org/are-orcas-eating-mediterranean-migrants/

"reports that a well known school of Orcas (killer whales) whose resident range is around both sides of the Straits of Gibraltar, have suddenly started mass attacks on small boats.

All experts interviewed by the press said there is no obvious explanation for this sudden change, but we think there is!

Orcas are very well known to attack floating ice and tip it over in order to eat polar bears, seals, walruses, etc on top of them, and there are numerous accounts of terrifying attacks on Arctic and Antarctic explorers too. Sealskin clad fishermen in small boats in Alaska and British Columbia were sometimes attacked.


Marine mammals are fast learners. It seems obvious that this group has just recently learned that boats are packed full of food, and they’re very hungry, the big fish are gone!

The Straits of Gibraltar are a major transit point for small boats packed full of tens of thousands of desperate migrants. .

The orcas seem to have recently learned there’s fast food inside. There must be missing small boats and many vanished passengers, and until a lucky survivor is rescued, there won’t be proof."
