- bmitc 5y agoMisanthropy can sneak in sometimes. I don't lump all humans, but I think it's a majority opinion amongst humans that we are the intelligent animal, and other intelligent animals are only to be compared to each other. Wolves are also cool, but I think it's a bit misleading to call orcas the wolves of the sea. Orcas are actually only one of two animals in the world, other than us, to go through menopause. It's an interesting biological development that some estimate it is so older orca females (orcas are matriarchal societies) to not sexually compete with younger females and can concentrate on leading and teaching to pass down knowledge. Wild orca females live quite long. Like I said, wolves are certainly amazing animals, but I feel orcas are on another level. And we don't cage wolves as brutally as we do orcas. That, I am angry about.
