Orcas are terrifying to sea creatures, but oddly enough are not interested in humans.

  They’ve been attacking boats in the Gibraltar region recently, though.

    I think more accurately motors of motorboats.

      They have been attacking the rudders of sailboats.

  The relationship is also largely reciprocal. Humans are terrifying land creatures, but don't often attack Orcas.

  Orcas knows what food they like. We're not on the list.

  There are interesting stories of human/orca cooperation, even. This one even comes with photographic and physical evidence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whales_of_Eden,_New_South_Wales https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whales_of_Eden,_New_Sou...

  Well, they also are pretty terrifying to Moose too. Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are the moose's only known marine predator as they have been known to prey on moose swimming between islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose

    Neat! And I'd imagine any other target of opportunity that swims between islands in same waters - i.e. deer, bear.
