- ajmurmann 10y agoI thought that's what those humans were that fish the whole thing empty and drag nets over the ocean floor.
- Frenchgeek 10y agoWe're the assholes of the land. We're just so good at it it spill over to the sea too. Let's hope one day we will be assholes in space.
- solipsism 10y agoWay to aim high!
- TeMPOraL 10y ago> Let's hope one day we will be assholes in space. Plot twist! You know that alien space invaders from the movies, who come to Earth to drain all its resources and go somewhere else? That's us from the future! And the head of the invasion is probably some poor space-fisherman saying "sustainability something blah blah, I have to make a living, you know!".
- Roboprog 10y agoIs that a new TV series this fall? I suppose it's been done, but this time, with an honest name.
- HillaryBriss 10y agoRectum Leap ... kind of combines the old title with the new concep ... eh ... never mind
- zipwitch 10y agoOnly some of them. The transient orca are the ones who eat mammals and don't have large social groupings. The resident orca have larger (matriarchal) social groups and don't eat other mammals, just fish. It's always amazing to me that we have multiple intelligent (how intelligent is uncertain), social species right here on our own planet, and we spend such a tiny fraction of our energies as a society trying to communicate with them.

- rtpg 10y agoOut of curiosity, what are the intelligences of whales compared to, say, dogs? Do you think we'll ever reach a point where "real" communication would be possible?
- mark_l_watson 10y agoI have to agree. In about 1977 I was sailing my small sailboat about 20 miles offshore, and about 50 miles north of San Diego. A single large Orca jumped out of the water 4 times right next to my boat, getting higher that the top of my mast, and each time crashing into the water next to my boat, which rocked violently each time. I lay down in the bottom of the cockpit, and fell off the wind a bit so I could steer for several minutes without having to see where I was going. The whole experience was unnerving. In comparison, I once had an old grey whale lift its head out of the water within 3 or 4 feet of that boat and it just gazed at me and my friends for a short while before gently lowering itself and moving off. That boat was only 22 feet long and the grey whale seemed like it was being gentle about being near us.
- douche 10y agoOrcas harass and kill great whites for fun, so yeah http://www.inquisitr.com/1827108/great-white-sharks-flee-neptune-islands-after-killer-whales-attack/ http://www.inquisitr.com/1827108/great-white-sharks-flee-nep...
