What is crazy is that in the entire ocean, with its massive size and biomes, we know what the scariest creature is, and that creature has never killed a human in the wild best we can tell.
- e40 2y agoIs there a theory as to why? Do we just taste bad? Something else?

- dreamcompiler 2y agoYeah that ain't it. https://atthewatersedge.ca/kayaking-with-orcas/ https://atthewatersedge.ca/kayaking-with-orcas/

- nicwolff 2y agoThey do chew on our boats for fun, they don't seem all that scared!
- dreamcompiler 2y agoThe more I learn about how smart Orcas are the more I think the only reason humans can go in the ocean and come back alive is that they choose to let us. Apparently we amuse them or something.
