They needed a bigger boat.

Crows. Crows are the spies. Geese and Seagulls will be the shock troops.

Orcas are upset at being labeled “killer whales” by ignorant humans.

Search for “high anxiety bird scene” and you can see it on YouTube.

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

/\

Why ?

So you can move another goal post

and add a

“dwarf human with one green eye, one blue eye and half a left foot with freak/sicko for pronouns “ ?

\-)

Typical.

"Orcas Have Sunk 3 Boats in Europe and Appear to Be Teaching Others to Do the Same. But Why?"

Stupid question. Why wouldn't they? They're intelligent creatures, and there might be some tasty snackage onboard. It's just taken this long to work out the how of it.

We know the KWs off the SoCal coast are teaching their little crumbsnatchers the trick of knocking out great white sharks by flipping them on their back (so then then can munch on them at leisure), so why wouldn't pursue any activity that will benefit their next generation?

How am I moving the goalposts?

Wolves, cougars and bears are far more likely to kill humans. Outside of captivity, there is no record.

I noticed you didn't mention sharks. Sharks will attack humans, even though the number of shark fatalities is pretty low.

Maybe the orcas aren’t after humans. It could be more like the movie “ The Jerk”. He hates these cans!

Rudders just really upset orcas.

But, I see a movie in the works: “Revenge of the Orcas”, or just “Orcas”.

Orcnato will blow shark week out of the water. Once they have air supremacy there is nothing to stop them.

Hull of large enough sailboats (24 plus feet at waterline) may have an appearance of being the body of a whale - from the water depth perspective.

Some rudders may appear to be similar to the whale fluke(s).
