There is the case of the Australian Orcas that used to alert whalers to where the whales were located so they could eat the whale tongues after they had been harpooned.
Evidently these are trophy hunters.
Orcas, the greatest apex predator on earth.
If somebody or something was trying to tear me open to eat my liver, I think I’d relocate, too.
“Seven of them had their livers removed,”
It’s an old Atlantic message. It means they sleep with the fishes.
LOL! I remember decades ago when SEA HUNT was a popular show. One episode had a killer whale eating swimmers. One of the divers in that show said “we should wipe them all out!”
My how attitudes have changed.
I saw a documentary filmed off the California coast by the Catalina Islands that talked about how the orcas turned the whites upside down and held them there till they went catatonic,,, then tore them up to eat only the liver.
That the smell of shark liver drove all the local sharks away for quite a while.
I wondered then why some entreuponer hasn’t hunted shark for liver oil to make shark repellant.
The flower child descendants sure love themselves wolves, cougars and sharks. Saw tim faulkner talking about how sharks are so misunderstood , not savage hunters, as the liar got into a steel shark cage to veiw some.
And they eat. A great deal. Sharks are mostly solitary hunters while orcas do the pod thing.
And they will kill humans.
Not sure orcas will bring the improvement people seem to be hoping for.
The Orcas are racist. They only hunt Great White Sharks and would not take a bit out of the Great Black Sharks of Nantucket.
Years ago near Pt. Defiance (Tacoma) we were salmon fishing out of a 14 foot rental skiff and a pod of killer whales moved in. One bull got so close I could have touched his 6 foot dorsal fin. The fishing action dropped off to zero.
Hmmm. Good to know.
Orcas will half beach themselves to take seal pumps off the edge of the land. At least the great whites don’t do that. I hope.
The Orcas never heard of liver and let live.
Killer whales are smart. They’ll work in packs to hunt. There’s even a video where they rush under an ice floe to cause a wave to rock the floe and dislodge a seal hiding on the floe. Clever girl!
And indeed, they are Killer Whales. Like Great Whites they will go after people if they have a chance but is rare for them to be around humans.
Relocation to Cape Cod of Nanzi Pelosi and her two orca-sized daughters is a possibility.
Eat liver without onions? How does that work?
Or scatter pictures of Roy Scheider(Chiel Brody) like chum in the water.
Drives them mad that an air tank could explode when hit with a bullet, which in reality it couldn’t.
And don’t bring up any of the sequels either
