@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism Yeah maybe emotionally we aren't. But given the fact we've developed the power to destroy ourselves multiple times over I'd say we are in things like creativity, intelligence, etc.
@@trevorphillips8415 Trees, rocks and even a single blade of grass are far wiser than humans, relative. We are the inferior, not the superior..... You even stated the reason why.
Orcas are highly intelligent and somewhat tolerant of us. I suspect someone messed around and a Orca got harmed. They learn quickly and pass it on which is why it seems to be a local experience and not worldwide, but give it time and maybe more in a larger area can be "taught" to go after more boats. I hope I'm wrong but we need to back off for awhile.
back off from where? just stop all boat activity? the theory is that it is a game passed down socially and also happens up north more recently. if it happens more often it's only going to end up bad for the orcas who might end up facing 'revenge' attacks by people or hurt themselves ramming into a propeller. like with any other animal behaving badly there needs to be some way of teaching them its bad to ram boats without seriously harming them, like how you spray a cat with water lol.
@@20ZZ20 When I saw "back off some", I mean reduce the amount of contact if possible and not engage them. Orcas have become too much of a tourist attraction.
I'd love to hear their communication during these events. Sometimes we underestimate animals abilities. They are very intelligent & it could be a territorial issue.
Killer Wales, Elephants, Gorillas, they are very intellectual animals, and have been known to seek revenge on humans. If you think humans are the only creatures on the planet that seek revenge, you have underestimated their abilities.
The people I've known from Wales were quite lovely. I don't think we should go around calling them "killer Wales." Killer whales are entirely different beast.
Trauma induced by a boat is a very likely factor, if they wanted to harm the humans they would have done just that because they are some of the most powerful animals within the ocean, capable of flipping ice bergs very smart and work together but so far that has not happened. But as the man states, they could be playing, if it has turned into a game for them they will continue. Whatever happens, hopefully they will come out with a deterrent to avoid any incidents. The whales should not be harmed.
Orca's are the top predator of the ocean. They are at the very top of the food chain. Every animal in the oceans fear them. They eat whatever they want. If you're in their territory and want to eat you they will.
Orcas have been known to attack whales much larger than them and seemingly harass them for no apparent reason. Scientist at first believed they were hunting, however after further studies the orcas showed no interest in actually eating the whales. Orcas have also been known to attack and torture seals, thrashing them around like toys and end up not eating them. Scientists are still unsure why they do this, but ultimately they’ve come to the conclusion that… “It’s fun.” Orcas are very intelligent and harassing and killing other creatures for pleasure is not uncommon in highly intelligent animals. They also might be using the boats to teach their young ones how to hunt by using the boat as some sort of learning tool representing a large animal. These are just theories however and there’s no way to know for certain why they’re doing this.
That guy is no expert to say animals don’t do revenge. It would be one thing to name a specific animal, but anyone with half a brain would catch that error.
If hyenas & lions seek revenge what the hell makes you think these mammals don’t ? They’re highly intelligent & im sure it’s a reason they’re attacking these boats. Maybe they’re tired of us taking all the fish or maybe the sonar from the boats
they simply defend themselves against a man who catches huge amounts of fish with nets from his boats, or they take revenge for the lost offspring or mate. In a word, they defend their territory... The term killer also applies to man.
It may have something to do with food, as bluefin tuna are bred in that area and are one of their main foods. I know someone who used to fish for small tuna in the Strait of Gibraltar for sport. He often caught only the heads, as the killer whales take advantage of this to eat the body of the fish when it is attached to the hook.
It seems so obvious to me this area where their attacking is now breeding ground or mating ground. Any animal from horses, bulls, moose, bears, hawks, all animals will defend its perceived territory that is being encroached upon. Can’t believe Marine Biologist actually said it was play. I’ve been in the NZ coast and have seen pods approach kayakers with no aggression. This is aggressive behavior to ward off.
Do you think playing with a piñata is being aggressive? You're looking at it from the human perspective rather than from their perspective. You see it as aggressive because they're damaging boats, but those boats are inanimate objects. It's really no more aggressive than if we were to kick a can down the street and dent it by doing so. They're not harming the humans, even when the humans end up in the water.
I think they have learned not to be afraid of boats anymore because they aren't hunted anymore. They are animals which are all more confident in packs or pods and they probably have learned it's ok to play with boats over there. We have strict rules here in the Washington state when it comes to boating around whales but I'd imagine people in other countries don't care so much about being considerate of these incredibly smart mammals when they're cruising through and not stopping for the whales to try not hurt them and not throwing out garbage or making noises they don't like or messing with them. Fishing around them even isn't a good idea because they will follow you and wait for you to catch a fish so they can eat it and if you don't feed them like maybe someone else does they might get upset.

Here’s a theory for two whole years we humans were stuck inside, no cruises, no excursions and now we’re back! And now the animals are like “why are you back” go back inside. Just recently we’ve had a slew of bear sightings in areas there never were bears before and one that I heard had to be shot. They didn’t think we were coming back out again 😂 Just a thought🤔
Elephants are entirely entirely different species. In fact they are the most intelligent animals on earth next to dolphins. They feel emotions differently and more complex like. Some say they have the intelligence of a 4-5 year old human being that’s how advanced their brains are
@sharonpeters69 Orcas are intelligent aswell they dolphins on steroids. The fact that they ramming down boats intentionally should show they are doing it out of revenge
@@mavusana12 they’re not doing it out of revenge haha. Revenge for what?? Boating in their territory? It’s called being curious. They r not ramming into boats out of anger and frustration. That’s some Hollywood fiction stuff

Orcas have been playing with boats for as long as boats have been around orcas. This isn't a new behavior, it is simply an increase in behavior. Maybe they've turned it into some sort of competition.
During situations like this we shouldn't have to figure our what the motive is. If a wild creature attacks, protect yourself and your property. If they are smart they will quickly learn nit to attack boats.
I'm glad all the times I've seen them in the northern Pacific they've always been inquisitive, but never done anything like shown here. No one wants to kill an orca, but if they give you no choice...
I don't think it's either. I think it's a smart animal trying to fight back for how incredibly arogant and awful we are towards the planet and all life on it.
I'd reckon beyond a human brain. Orca languages are more complex than any human language thus far. Amazing creatures. I'll take pass on humans, myself included lol. Orcas float my boat. or not. depending on the circumstances...
That footage they showed didn't look much like an attack. But if they are maybe they're smart enough to know we are responsible for drift netting huge numbers of life forms out of the oceans, and may even understand we are increasing its acidity with CO2 & increasing the waters temperature. Wouldn't that be interesting, the first animal to give people feedback for abusing the planet.
At the real risk of being very unpopular and raising an issue that might cause some to reflect differently, it is Possibly in response to over fishing, or like they said a reaction to a collision with a matriarch... but i think its more likely a calf got struck by a rudder..... so the pods are making the boats safer for the calves....... If it continues carbon fibre reinforced sterns are going to become a must on fibreglass boats.
This aria is for their babies , I'm Moroccan and same thing happened in our side, orcas attack the boats because this area is full of orcas babies, it's normal, but the media focus more than before about this matter.
Orcas are very aggressive creatures.I have read books about Arctic explorers in the mid 1800s encountering them while out on the ice. The explorers said that the orcas were intent upon knocking them off the ice floes, ramming the ice repeatedly, in an effort to dislodge the ice or the men.
My Mi'kmaq ancestors told of "bad fish" that would attack their birch bark canoes. To trick them, they started carrying large branches to create shade so they wouldn't get too close, for fear of breaching themselves, thinking it was land. The Indians never called them killer wales, they called them whale killers. The colonialists misunderstood.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism correct, whale killers is right as they aren't even whales- they are the biggest species of dolphin. And the behaviour they are exhibiting is exactly the kind they use to disable and then prey on whales - ramming them and then "feeding" on a very small proportion of the carcass
There is _one_ documented case of an orca ramming and ice flow that an explorer _and his dog_ were on. There is no evidence that the orca was being aggressive towards the human. There has only ever been one documented incident of an orca in the wild attacking a human - a surfer who was bitten. Even when they damage and sink boats, they do absolutely no harm to the humans who end up in the water.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism😄 genius solution! I suspect attacking the canoes was simply bumping them and playing with them - which is all well and good until the canoe that you have put so much time into gets destroyed
The whale must have been pretty pissed! Maybe it witnessed one of its own being killed by man! They’re very intelligent, and I read when Europeans were discovering new islands and continents (Australia) to be specific , orca’s were repeatedly said to have aided and saved many seafarers lives from drowning,by bringing them to the beach, keeping them above water as if they knew humans can’t breathe under water?. And their behaviour changed when the new comers started killing large numbers of the whales,,,
I offer another opinion, it's nothing about revenge, or personal orca issues. As it appears only the rudder's are broken off. Why is this? And are all vessels attacked? My theory is this, that is most sailboat rudder shafts, the tube that goes up into the boat to which the rudder is connected to, is loose in the shaft log housing. This allows a vibration or resonance to occur due to loose rudder shaft, and or out-of-balance rudder with fairing issues setting up a vibration in the water. It is this vibration the Orcas take exception too. Why else would they only break off the rudder and not attack the keel, or the hull itself? It's the vibration of the rudder passing though the water which is annoying them. Note, most sailboats do not have bulkheads to prevent water from getting into the vessel interior once the shaft log is breached, cracked or broken in the case of oraces bumping, smashing and crashing into the rudder itself. Additionally, most sailboats do not have adequate bilge pumps to handle high water flow other that an small leak, hence they sink in deep water.
Interesting theory. If the vibrations emanating from the rudder is the issue, then I wonder why orcas have only just started these attacks recently. They weren't engaged in this sort of activity (attacking rudders) in the past. Additionally, it is only the orcas off the coast of Spain that are doing this. Orcas in other oceans around the world are not targeting rudders.
I wonder if ocean boats could carry something like a sonic repellant, placed in the water to generate a particular sound that the Orcas don't like to be around.
This is literally the most Caucasian thing I've read so far. That's what they tried to do with Hispanics and blacks, you know, putting on white hoods and such, but it's unfair to them because that's their territory. How about we use tactics to get you out of your home?
Animals don't do revenge huh? Elephants do, crows do, monkeys do, pretty darn sure a smart animal like orcas do. I'm not even a animal expert either just have common sense pretty sad that's a lacking triat in society now days.
People need to pay more attention to what is actually said.This isn't a new behavior, it is an increase in behavior. And yes, it's most likely playful. If they were actually being malicious or aggressive, they would be doing a lot more damage, and they would be killing humans, especially the ones who end up in the water during these incidents. But if you're worried about it, absolutely stay out of _their_ water, away from _their_ home.
@@jadapinkett1656 It's not their area, what people shouldn't sail there because of orcas who are sea bullies, they kill seals, dolphins, other whales and they don't kill only for food, they kill just for their amusement
It's not so easy 'cause you need to cross the Strait of Gibraltar in order to enter or exit the Mediterranean Sea. Many boats have to pass that part of the sea.
@@ShinLeeChan That's why they should shoot few orcas, i am against mistreatment of animals and i saved many cats, dogs, snakes, lizards, squirels, turtles, sea turtles, hedgehogs, I am fishing but I always release fish that's not big enough but I am sick of people who put animals before people, like last week there were many idiots who were angered and wrote racist stuff about Egyptians who killed the tiger shark who ATE a tourist there, just 20 meters from the shore. And I think sharks should be protected but those who kill people in tourist resorts should be put down. Me and my pals few years ago caught a two meter blue shark while we were fishing and we managed although we were in danger that he bite off our hands , we managed to release him.
Ok, if Tigers can seek revenge, Orcas definitely can. I realise you love them and are an advocate, but they are intelligent predators and are fully capable of warding off things they see as threats.
BS- not playful. If you're mean to an animal(any), repeatedly, and see how it affects their interactions with you and others... Someone screwed with that pod, and now they're acting out.
One orca, Gladys, got mad. She attacked a boat, found it was effective, started teaching others in the pod. Now it's a gang of vandals trashing boats. You'd think the whole "we can sink your boat, easy" along with "we can swim all day long, can you?" would convince people that some things aren't to be ignored, but people do stupid stuff all the time.
@@williamevans6522 You went overboard like a child throwing tantrums. Lets look at it clearly if you dont mind. How about we stop over fishing the waters, stop polluting their homes, stop capturing them and keeping them secluded in small tanks for our entertainment. How could we still try to blame them as if they're at fault. These are living creatures not robots that take orders on command. To assume only humans have a capacity to think is incredibly shortsighted. These are warnings, not some sort of joke. Easy for us to "enjoy life" and ignore how we're destroying their lives. I'm beginning to think we need a reality check soon.
Orcas swim around the entire planet. Those creatures are smart. Why they attack boats? Because they have seen what some boats can do, they shoot and kill wales alle the time.
They may not do revenge, but they are highly intelligent. They have more than likely associated the boats with their inability to eat. Over fishing is a thing. A lot of pods actually following fishing boats around. Orcas are more than likely trying to get rid of their food source "competition"
They have realized that the prices of the boats are very expensive and they are doing it so that there are more second-hand boats available to everyone
All you do is have to do 1 messed up thing to these intelligent animals and your all done. They never forget, just keep your distance is all you can do.
The expert that doesn't think animals are capable of revenge never owned a cat

The way they kill their enemies in the water like Great White Sharks, and surgically remove the livers of those sharks shows patterns and strategy... so it's no different how to take out boats in a similar manner to incapacitate something
Maybe because rudders are thin and soft which is easy for them to take out.
Ever heard of that elephant that took revenge on a old lady... these animals aren't stupid.
People are stupid thinking we humans are the only ones with emotions. Many humans want to believe they are superior to other animals.... We're not.
A lot of abused animals do eventually lash out also. Not sure what he was talking about
🎯🎯
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism Yeah maybe emotionally we aren't. But given the fact we've developed the power to destroy ourselves multiple times over I'd say we are in things like creativity, intelligence, etc.
@@trevorphillips8415 Trees, rocks and even a single blade of grass are far wiser than humans, relative. We are the inferior, not the superior..... You even stated the reason why.
Orcas are highly intelligent and somewhat tolerant of us. I suspect someone messed around and a Orca got harmed. They learn quickly and pass it on which is why it seems to be a local experience and not worldwide, but give it time and maybe more in a larger area can be "taught" to go after more boats. I hope I'm wrong but we need to back off for awhile.
They know it is the human who are messing up the ocean.
back off from where? just stop all boat activity? the theory is that it is a game passed down socially and also happens up north more recently. if it happens more often it's only going to end up bad for the orcas who might end up facing 'revenge' attacks by people or hurt themselves ramming into a propeller. like with any other animal behaving badly there needs to be some way of teaching them its bad to ram boats without seriously harming them, like how you spray a cat with water lol.
@@20ZZ20 When I saw "back off some", I mean reduce the amount of contact if possible and not engage them. Orcas have become too much of a tourist attraction.
bullshit, they are prob just being territorial
Are we expected to believe you?😮😂😂😂😂 NOPE!
Don't do revenge is probably one of the dumbest fucking things i have ever heard

fuck orcas, just harpoon them like all whalers did
@@TheresaEnglishWait until you’re on the boat.
Sea World took care of their brothers and sisters and taught them a career trade. These Orcas ought to be grateful!
Americans: "killer whales."
The rest of the world: "orcas."
good for them. they’ve had enough.
I'd love to hear their communication during these events. Sometimes we underestimate animals abilities. They are very intelligent & it could be a territorial issue.
Word it’s fascinating
Killer Wales, Elephants, Gorillas, they are very intellectual animals, and have been known to seek revenge on humans. If you think humans are the only creatures on the planet that seek revenge, you have underestimated their abilities.
Tigers to
The people I've known from Wales were quite lovely. I don't think we should go around calling them "killer Wales." Killer whales are entirely different beast.
Exactly, that "expert" sounds foolish
Trauma induced by a boat is a very likely factor, if they wanted to harm the humans they would have done just that because they are some of the most powerful animals within the ocean, capable of flipping ice bergs very smart and work together but so far that has not happened. But as the man states, they could be playing, if it has turned into a game for them they will continue. Whatever happens, hopefully they will come out with a deterrent to avoid any incidents. The whales should not be harmed.
Orca's are the top predator of the ocean. They are at the very top of the food chain. Every animal in the oceans fear them. They eat whatever they want. If you're in their territory and want to eat you they will.
Floating pack ice and icebergs are two different things you are unaware of that obviously.... 'flipping icebergs (one word).... 🤦
Animals might not do revenge but they will try to eliminate a threat.
Great point
Exactly
Look what they did to Lola the Orca left her in a dirty tub in Texas gave her no attention she just floated around alone for years it's sickening.
" Since 2020" says a lot. Natures affected by the things being done in this world.
Maybe the killer whales are suffering from long COVID
@@Garland-nx4yz In 2020, they got a taste of life without humans around and decided they want to keep it that way.
Makes you wonder if they have encounters any poachers ?? 😢
They should cull these orcas. Obviously they are dangerous
Orcas have been known to attack whales much larger than them and seemingly harass them for no apparent reason. Scientist at first believed they were hunting, however after further studies the orcas showed no interest in actually eating the whales. Orcas have also been known to attack and torture seals, thrashing them around like toys and end up not eating them. Scientists are still unsure why they do this, but ultimately they’ve come to the conclusion that… “It’s fun.” Orcas are very intelligent and harassing and killing other creatures for pleasure is not uncommon in highly intelligent animals. They also might be using the boats to teach their young ones how to hunt by using the boat as some sort of learning tool representing a large animal. These are just theories however and there’s no way to know for certain why they’re doing this.
"animals don't do revenge" who is this guy??
That guy is no expert to say animals don’t do revenge. It would be one thing to name a specific animal, but anyone with half a brain would catch that error.
Facts I don't know what he was talking about animals don't take revenge hello try messing with dog
They’re exhausted by humanity and so am I!
If hyenas & lions seek revenge what the hell makes you think these mammals don’t ? They’re highly intelligent & im sure it’s a reason they’re attacking these boats. Maybe they’re tired of us taking all the fish or maybe the sonar from the boats
Too many boats... more boats now than ever.
I don’t think it’s revenge, I think it’s more like they consider boats a threat.
GOod. Apparently that "doctor" never heard of elephants.
Or tigers
Or Chimps, or Lions or Gorillas , Baboons, Bears and more
The "doctor" doesn't think a person IS an animal! Lmao.
I don't understand. Anyone with a peanut size brain remembers what an elephant is.
Thank you
I’m glad they are fighting back!
they simply defend themselves against a man who catches huge amounts of fish with nets from his boats, or they take revenge for the lost offspring or mate. In a word, they defend their territory...
The term killer also applies to man.
Ocean and their fish isnt only property of orcas
Web also have the right to travel by boat and fishing to eat
It’s called PayBack!
Hes talking out if his butt. No offense but "playfull behavior" seems like nonsense.
It may have something to do with food, as bluefin tuna are bred in that area and are one of their main foods. I know someone who used to fish for small tuna in the Strait of Gibraltar for sport. He often caught only the heads, as the killer whales take advantage of this to eat the body of the fish when it is attached to the hook.
It seems so obvious to me this area where their attacking is now breeding ground or mating ground. Any animal from horses, bulls, moose, bears, hawks, all animals will defend its perceived territory that is being encroached upon. Can’t believe Marine Biologist actually said it was play. I’ve been in the NZ coast and have seen pods approach kayakers with no aggression. This is aggressive behavior to ward off.
Do you think playing with a piñata is being aggressive?
You're looking at it from the human perspective rather than from their perspective. You see it as aggressive because they're damaging boats, but those boats are inanimate objects. It's really no more aggressive than if we were to kick a can down the street and dent it by doing so.
They're not harming the humans, even when the humans end up in the water.
Some Nerd: Animals dont do revenge
Orcas: get down or lay down!
I think they have learned not to be afraid of boats anymore because they aren't hunted anymore. They are animals which are all more confident in packs or pods and they probably have learned it's ok to play with boats over there. We have strict rules here in the Washington state when it comes to boating around whales but I'd imagine people in other countries don't care so much about being considerate of these incredibly smart mammals when they're cruising through and not stopping for the whales to try not hurt them and not throwing out garbage or making noises they don't like or messing with them. Fishing around them even isn't a good idea because they will follow you and wait for you to catch a fish so they can eat it and if you don't feed them like maybe someone else does they might get upset.
That got boring really quickly.
@whatsthatnow308 I never said it was supposed to be entertaining.
Man, who's never heard of bison, elephants, lions, housecats, merecats, chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos, or baboons:

Have you not heard of the internet affect / movie affect ..
After jaws came out people were killing sharks on masse!!
If an expert came out and said it was revenge people will start fearing them and potentially attacking them first as a defence
Cause most stupid humans would hear that and start to panic / take matters into their own hands
… it’s like when experts said masks didn’t stop Covid spreading because there was a horrible mask shortage and surgeons / hospitals workers were struggling to find them:
So officials made such announcements.. then retracted it when masks were more available
(I know people working in medical sectors and they said the initial announcement was to stop people mindlessly panic buying masks)
Or people genociding sharks after watching jaws
Anyway long story short a lot of humans are morons
Here’s a theory for two whole years we humans were stuck inside, no cruises, no excursions and now we’re back! And now the animals are like “why are you back” go back inside. Just recently we’ve had a slew of bear sightings in areas there never were bears before and one that I heard had to be shot. They didn’t think we were coming back out again 😂 Just a thought🤔
Its crazy the amount of orca attacks recently. We used to have 0 attacks.
When was that?
Dumping place by drug dealers to be picked up later. Sharks etc are injesting these packages. Attacks seem to be specific areas? Stoned fish.
they arent attacking humans tho only boats unless they did something
"Animals dont do revenge" bruh doesn't know the story about the Elephant and a funeral
Elephants are entirely entirely different species. In fact they are the most intelligent animals on earth next to dolphins. They feel emotions differently and more complex like. Some say they have the intelligence of a 4-5 year old human being that’s how advanced their brains are
@sharonpeters69 Orcas are intelligent aswell they dolphins on steroids. The fact that they ramming down boats intentionally should show they are doing it out of revenge
There is a reason and I do not think it's just playing.
@@mavusana12 they’re not doing it out of revenge haha. Revenge for what?? Boating in their territory? It’s called being curious. They r not ramming into boats out of anger and frustration. That’s some Hollywood fiction stuff
@@mavusana12Non-sequitur.

Orcas have been playing with boats for as long as boats have been around orcas. This isn't a new behavior, it is simply an increase in behavior.
Maybe they've turned it into some sort of competition.
Absolutely revenge on the boats not the humans
Animals do revenge. I’ve seen it with blue jays, crows, dogs, elephants,monkeys, apes, chimps….
'Some wonder why" is the biggets crock of shit I've heard.
Those people are provoking the whales by tapping on the boat.
Nature has had enough of humans destroying everything..
"Humans" HA! Palm people..
Lady standing on the edge looking down was literally that one person in the movie that died first 😭😭
During situations like this we shouldn't have to figure our what the motive is. If a wild creature attacks, protect yourself and your property. If they are smart they will quickly learn nit to attack boats.
I'm glad all the times I've seen them in the northern Pacific they've always been inquisitive, but never done anything like shown here. No one wants to kill an orca, but if they give you no choice...
I don't think it's either. I think it's a smart animal trying to fight back for how incredibly arogant and awful we are towards the planet and all life on it.
Maybe just leave them alone
Maybe they are trying to tell us something
Now “my orca” has a new meaning in Spain.
lol😄
Just remember the Orca has the brain capacity of an fully adult human
I'd reckon beyond a human brain. Orca languages are more complex than any human language thus far. Amazing creatures. I'll take pass on humans, myself included lol. Orcas float my boat. or not. depending on the circumstances...
they are definately more intelligent than average humans
That footage they showed didn't look much like an attack. But if they are maybe they're smart enough to know we are responsible for drift netting huge numbers of life forms out of the oceans, and may even understand we are increasing its acidity with CO2 & increasing the waters temperature. Wouldn't that be interesting, the first animal to give people feedback for abusing the planet.
You really believe these "scientists" who say humans are responsible for CO2 and the "climate change". No animal is that stupid
At the real risk of being very unpopular and raising an issue that might cause some to reflect differently, it is Possibly in response to over fishing, or like they said a reaction to a collision with a matriarch... but i think its more likely a calf got struck by a rudder..... so the pods are making the boats safer for the calves.......
If it continues carbon fibre reinforced sterns are going to become a must on fibreglass boats.
This aria is for their babies , I'm Moroccan and same thing happened in our side, orcas attack the boats because this area is full of orcas babies, it's normal, but the media focus more than before about this matter.
Orcas are very aggressive creatures.I have read books about Arctic explorers in the mid 1800s encountering them while out on the ice. The explorers said that the orcas were intent upon knocking them off the ice floes, ramming the ice repeatedly, in an effort to dislodge the ice or the men.
My Mi'kmaq ancestors told of "bad fish" that would attack their birch bark canoes. To trick them, they started carrying large branches to create shade so they wouldn't get too close, for fear of breaching themselves, thinking it was land. The Indians never called them killer wales, they called them whale killers. The colonialists misunderstood.
Are they fuck aggressive! They've only killed 4 humans, and those orcas were in captivity.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism correct, whale killers is right as they aren't even whales- they are the biggest species of dolphin. And the behaviour they are exhibiting is exactly the kind they use to disable and then prey on whales - ramming them and then "feeding" on a very small proportion of the carcass
There is _one_ documented case of an orca ramming and ice flow that an explorer _and his dog_ were on. There is no evidence that the orca was being aggressive towards the human.
There has only ever been one documented incident of an orca in the wild attacking a human - a surfer who was bitten.
Even when they damage and sink boats, they do absolutely no harm to the humans who end up in the water.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism😄 genius solution!
I suspect attacking the canoes was simply bumping them and playing with them - which is all well and good until the canoe that you have put so much time into gets destroyed
The whale must have been pretty pissed! Maybe it witnessed one of its own being killed by man! They’re very intelligent, and I read when Europeans were discovering new islands and continents (Australia) to be specific , orca’s were repeatedly said to have aided and saved many seafarers lives from drowning,by bringing them to the beach, keeping them above water as if they knew humans can’t breathe under water?. And their behaviour changed when the new comers started killing large numbers of the whales,,,
Orcas are dolphins .
"People do things for revenge animals don't " thats a lie...all that research and he forgot that WE ARE ANIMALS TOO!!! DUMMY 😒
I offer another opinion, it's nothing about revenge, or personal orca issues. As it appears only the rudder's are broken off. Why is this? And are all vessels attacked? My theory is this, that is most sailboat rudder shafts, the tube that goes up into the boat to which the rudder is connected to, is loose in the shaft log housing. This allows a vibration or resonance to occur due to loose rudder shaft, and or out-of-balance rudder with fairing issues setting up a vibration in the water. It is this vibration the Orcas take exception too. Why else would they only break off the rudder and not attack the keel, or the hull itself? It's the vibration of the rudder passing though the water which is annoying them. Note, most sailboats do not have bulkheads to prevent water from getting into the vessel interior once the shaft log is breached, cracked or broken in the case of oraces bumping, smashing and crashing into the rudder itself. Additionally, most sailboats do not have adequate bilge pumps to handle high water flow other that an small leak, hence they sink in deep water.
Interesting theory. If the vibrations emanating from the rudder is the issue, then I wonder why orcas have only just started these attacks recently. They weren't engaged in this sort of activity (attacking rudders) in the past. Additionally, it is only the orcas off the coast of Spain that are doing this. Orcas in other oceans around the world are not targeting rudders.
Animals adapt and overcome and learn to attack to protect their own
I think they are seeking food - they have realized that these boats are carrying bait and fish that were caught
I wonder if ocean boats could carry something like a sonic repellant, placed in the water to generate a particular sound that the Orcas don't like to be around.
This is literally the most Caucasian thing I've read so far. That's what they tried to do with Hispanics and blacks, you know, putting on white hoods and such, but it's unfair to them because that's their territory. How about we use tactics to get you out of your home?
you could try it with classical music
@@angeldelrous6964 I mean, that would work for me.
That might make them even more agitated.
they dont want humans on the ocean anymore
I don't blame those animals they are sick of us humans. She's says some wonder why are you kidding me lol.
Animals don't do revenge huh? Elephants do, crows do, monkeys do, pretty darn sure a smart animal like orcas do. I'm not even a animal expert either just have common sense pretty sad that's a lacking triat in society now days.
Looks like we need to establish dominion over them again.
1. We have never established dominion over them
2. Way to be an ignorant arse
Humans VS Orcas prt.2, electric Boogaloo.
People need to pay more attention to what is actually said.This isn't a new behavior, it is an increase in behavior.
And yes, it's most likely playful. If they were actually being malicious or aggressive, they would be doing a lot more damage, and they would be killing humans, especially the ones who end up in the water during these incidents.
But if you're worried about it, absolutely stay out of _their_ water, away from _their_ home.
There are no orcas where I am so I'm good.
Stay the hell out of there area!

@@jadapinkett1656 It's not their area, what people shouldn't sail there because of orcas who are sea bullies, they kill seals, dolphins, other whales and they don't kill only for food, they kill just for their amusement
It's not so easy 'cause you need to cross the Strait of Gibraltar in order to enter or exit the Mediterranean Sea.
Many boats have to pass that part of the sea.
@@ShinLeeChan That's why they should shoot few orcas, i am against mistreatment of animals and i saved many cats, dogs, snakes, lizards, squirels, turtles, sea turtles, hedgehogs, I am fishing but I always release fish that's not big enough but I am sick of people who put animals before people, like last week there were many idiots who were angered and wrote racist stuff about Egyptians who killed the tiger shark who ATE a tourist there, just 20 meters from the shore. And I think sharks should be protected but those who kill people in tourist resorts should be put down. Me and my pals few years ago caught a two meter blue shark while we were fishing and we managed although we were in danger that he bite off our hands , we managed to release him.

They've had enough of the home invasions.
Perhaps we killed one too many marine mammals ?
This man is wrong : animals definitely take revenge
Ok, if Tigers can seek revenge, Orcas definitely can. I realise you love them and are an advocate, but they are intelligent predators and are fully capable of warding off things they see as threats.
BS- not playful.
If you're mean to an animal(any), repeatedly, and see how it affects their interactions with you and others... Someone screwed with that pod, and now they're acting out.
One orca, Gladys, got mad. She attacked a boat, found it was effective, started teaching others in the pod. Now it's a gang of vandals trashing boats. You'd think the whole "we can sink your boat, easy" along with "we can swim all day long, can you?" would convince people that some things aren't to be ignored, but people do stupid stuff all the time.

You went overboard like a child throwing tantrums. Lets look at it clearly if you dont mind.
How about we stop over fishing the waters, stop polluting their homes, stop capturing them and keeping them secluded in small tanks for our entertainment. How could we still try to blame them as if they're at fault. These are living creatures not robots that take orders on command.
To assume only humans have a capacity to think is incredibly shortsighted. These are warnings, not some sort of joke. Easy for us to "enjoy life" and ignore how we're destroying their lives.
I'm beginning to think we need a reality check soon.
People in bad neighborhoods learn bad behavior too.
"animals dont do revenge" tell that to the elephants
Good guys are winning this round.
Orcas swim around the entire planet. Those creatures are smart. Why they attack boats? Because they have seen what some boats can do, they shoot and kill wales alle the time.
They may not do revenge, but they are highly intelligent. They have more than likely associated the boats with their inability to eat. Over fishing is a thing. A lot of pods actually following fishing boats around. Orcas are more than likely trying to get rid of their food source "competition"
They have realized that the prices of the boats are very expensive and they are doing it so that there are more second-hand boats available to everyone
The expert should put on his wetsuit and swim with these things to prove their just playing, because they are definitely sinking boats.
THIS WAS A YEAR AGO…….I WAS KEEPING TRACK BACK THEN AND BEYOND. SELAH
