Maybe they are making a statement about the inherent lack of seaworthiness of the spade rudder.

They’re not whales, they’re dolphins. Look it up. Killer dolphins.

Wind turbines over water... or they just hate the corrupt ‘elites’ like the rest of us.

This didn’t work out well for Bo Derek in 1977.

You’re wrong about a lot.

Brancheau and Alexis Martínez are the two SeaWorld trainers killed by an orca. Brancheau was the third fatality associated with Tilikum and the fourth by a ...

Survive the savage sea
was a book about a family sunk by an orca.

Yes, orcas kill humans, as do wolves, cougars and bears .

Watermelons lie about that.

Just last week we had a cougar wandering around redding.

“Just last week we had a cougar wandering around redding.”

My wife and I spotted a cougar at the bar the other night.

Okay, do you have a citation of a fatality by an Orca attacking a human (not a boat) in the wild?

I know of four fatalities in captivity, and three of them were by Tilikum.

Common thread for all these trouble makers, mental illness. “Tilikum is basically psychotic,” the marine biologist Ken Balcomb told Outside Online in 2010. “He has been maintained in a situation where I think he is psychologically unrecoverable in terms of being a wild whale.”Mar 9, 2016

Once you’ve been pounced on by a claws out Cougar, nothing else compares. Limp home and dress your wounds.

Cats are the ones you really have to worry about.
Cats were worshiped as gods in ancient Egypt, and they have never forgotten that.
