It’s pretty simple. Just don’t go swimming in the ocean. If I was in some small boat or kayak I’d have had a heart attack. And even though the pair of orcas are hunting them they are still apex predator.

At my age I'm fully prepared to commit Defensive Defication if threatened.

There's an Orca on a Spirit Airlines flight aisle/isle shit joke in here somewhere....

I've seen Orkas playing in the bow wake of our ship like dolphins when I was in the Aleutians. Except they ain't dolphins!

they only kill people in captivity, they honestly seem to love people otherwise, at least playing with people. the wild ones don't know what kind of assholes we really are.

but they can also 'teach' each other things (like the trashing of the rudders/sinkings over in Europe)...so if/when activists manage to rescue mistreated ones, they better not free willy in the wild or we're in big trouble lol.

Do we really have that big of prison system where we don't notice a few missing from cell block B?

They choose not to kill us. Can you imagine a great white being this playful?

 

Not an orca but time to tell the story of my phone wallpaper:

I took this (no zoom) from a paddleboard in the Laguna Madre in winter 2020. Small pod of three that swam under and around my board and let me have a good look.

And dolphins are charismatic and nice and (unless they want sexy time) entirely uninterested in harming you.  But they are also a LOT bigger than you think they are, and they swim a LOT faster than you realize and it is much more unnerving to be on top of them on a wobbly board than you’d think.  Very much a “they belong here and I do not” moment.  I can’t imagine orcas.

Maybe they’re vegan orcas.

I saw this guy while diving at an oil rig in the Gulf. Scared the shit out of me as I saw it swimming toward me, especially when I couldn't tell if it was a shark or not. It just stopped about 100 feet away and watched for a while.

The coolest thing on a submarine was doing a surface transit when the sun is setting.  The dolphins and the orcas would follow along doing fish shit

Dolphins/orcas aren't fish, fyi.

It was sonaring you to investigate your feelings.  It likely would have come closer but it sensed your fear.  No magical experience for you.

Probably true, but I got that moment when a young dolphin decided to investigate a group of us in the water at Magen's Bay in St. Thomas for about 15 minutes, before Mama finally came and escorted him away. Dolphins and orcas are the best.

I did one of those swim with dolphins deal in the Bahamas.

The ones they have at the Atlantis are about 400# of pure muscle.  Badass animals.

We are planning a trip probably to the Pacific Northwest or Alaska to be able to see Orcas in their own habitat.  They are indeed fascinating creatures.

I went on a fishing trip in the Queen Charlotte Islands, about halfway up coast of British Columbia and about 10 miles south of southern most island of Alaska. Orcas and humpbacks would jump out of the water only 15 feet from the edge of our boat. They’ve inadvertently capsized those boats before. Definitely one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.

I'm just glad that they haven't acquired the taste for humans. But I fear the day that an Orca loses his way into the Gulf and accidentally eats a fat obese fucker from Houston vacationing in Destin, it may all change. All that fried food, no exercising fat gotta be tasty. That's gotta be like human toro.
