Orcas are known to be highly intelligent and are also known to be able to operate on a pretty decent level of thinking. Seeing boats take your food while you starve is not a difficult conclusion to draw that the boats are total assholes who need to be taught a lesson.
- HaloZero 6y agoI remember learning Humpbacks work to deny Orcas meals sometimes. I can totally imagine Orcas connecting the dots to attack smaller boats. If anything it could just be stress + source of noise == bad. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2016/08/humpback-whales-save-animals-killer-whales-explained/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2016/08/humpback-wha...
- tpmx 6y agoHere's another interesting piece: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/male-orca-and-its-mother-worked-together-kill-newborn-calf-180968590/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/male-orca-and-its-... A young male orca and its mother kills a orca baby by drowning it during four hours, with the baby orca's mother nearby. The researchers are guessing they did it so that the other mother orca that had just had its baby killed could be impregnated by the young male orca, thereby making sure that its genetics would be spread.
