“Or is it really an act of revenge for centuries of maltreatment and neglect?”
LOL. OLM. Orcan Lives Matter!
All joking aside, orcas are apex predators - like wolves. They are very smart and adaptable, and they don’t respect or fear humans that much. I recently checked out a study that shows their hunting habits have evolved just over the last ten years and they have started hunting gray whales and their calves. Kinda distressing/sad to know about, but I would not take their disabling of boats lightly at all! lol
