Actually, lots do, and the transients eat mammals.
I think they're smart enough to differentiate the ones (us) that would cause too many problems to eat.
In our area (Discovery Islands), there is no lack of humans swimming, or in kayaks, or diving. The transients are common here, far more than the residents. Of course, so are seals and sea lions.
- oh_sigh 6y agoYes but I can all but guarantee you that humans aren't swimming where there have been known orca sightings.
- libraryatnight 6y agopeople dive near wild orcas all the time.
- svl 6y agoSwimming and diving with orcas is not just regularly done, it's so common and safe that it's something which is offered as a guided tourist activity in Norway. (I personally know someone who went on such a trip.)
