Next time I completely shit myself in a stressful situation I hope a scientist somewhere describes the act as "clever."

orcas hunt sperm whales? goddamn

edit: I just looked it up and orcas even hunt fucking blue whales! wtf? are they the ultimate ocean predator to ever live?

Orcas are seriously scary.

[–] Galli@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Orcas are not usually a threat to humans, and no fatal attack has ever been documented in their natural habitat.

They've never even left a survivor to tell the tale.

sicko-orca At last, a worthy adversary

fmaxrobs: How long can whale-poop clouds fend off hungry orcas? Then too, at some point the whales must empty. Couldn't orcas keep a watchful distance until the whales ran empty and their poop-cloud had dissipated?

Homie asking the real questions here.
