Orcas Share Food With Humans

[Cyan]

Pretty interesting. I've always been fascinated by killer whales.

Wild orcas offer humans food. Could they be trying to make friends — or manipulate us?

Researchers have documented orcas dropping prey and other marine life in front of humans, as if offering us food. The orcas' motives are uncertain, but the sharing behavior could be an attempt at a cross-species relationship or manipulation.

Orcas are pretty scary, in my opinion. They don't hurt humans in the wild. They easily could, but they don't. And we've seen what they can do when they want to hurt something. That means that they are smart enough to look at these 5-6 foot long creatures that come into their territory, can't swim well, and have no natural defenses, and realize that despite appearances, we're not to be ****ed with. That's a level of cognition that shouldn't be underestimated.

Also the whole "salmon hat" thing is straight out of a horror movie.

Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years

Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

The boat attacks by this pod are pretty fascinating too.

They're trying to fatten humans up.
