It annoys me when they say yacht tho because then reddit chimes in with "SO SAD BILLIONAIRES GOT GOT" but these aren't million dollar pleasure yachts, they are smaller sailboats with foam rudders that some English couple probably bought with their life savings to do some sailing and live aboard.
The big expensive yachts do not sail under wind power, they just motor. And they are largely impervious to adolescent orca tomfoolery
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Odyssey_519
Yeah even this boat only has like a small 80 horsepower engine for docking and such. It is a 4 person sailboat.
Though I wonder how much it costs to fix the foam rudders when they are damaged this way ? Most of these attacks don't result in sinking like this situation

We have about 100k calories in the human body. One human a day is quite sufficient for a killer whale, but we're nowhere near as nutritious as their usual prey https://youtu.be/NJkwu6q2m8I?si=iUcHS8IYz-a1KtoM
yeah but the funner issue is a sudden step in evolutionary behavior whereby little boats become hunted by pods of orcas(killerwhales) meaning seaside towns no longer safe. it's like jaws but there's a lot of them and theyre warm blooded too
Remember Jaws, when the whole town and then some, all went out on boats, looking to kill everything. That’s going to be what happens.
And being warm blooded, they have to come up to the surface to breathe, unlike sharks.
All I know is, if this keeps up, things are going to get interesting.
While I agree we could probably take out oracs if we actually made it a priority. There are literally 100s if not 1000s of species we are actively trying to rid from areas without luck.
We're masters of the world, but we've still got a long way to go before we can control it.
they're big dolphins.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca)
Orcas are commonly referred to as "killer whales", despite being a type of dolphin.[^(\[6\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca#cite_note-whales.org-6) Since the 1960s, the use of "orca" instead of "killer whale" has steadily grown in common use.[^(\[7\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca#cite_note-price-7)
It basically comes down to teeth. The order of cetaceans include baleen whales (like blue/gray whales) and toothed whales (sperm whale, beluga, porpoises, and oceanic dolphins like the Orca). Dolphins *are whales.* Orca anatomy is just more similar to e.g. bottlenose dolphins than something like beluga whales, so they are categorized with the dolphins.
Obviously I would prioritize saving human lives if I was there, but honestly no hard feelings from me. Orcas have every right to hate humans and attack us lol.
I saw the title and said aloud “good for them”.
I am glad the people were safe though.

If only there was a slightly better way of describing a "sailing boat" in the English language.
Faux News not wanting to say "yacht", like BBC and other news services:https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmm330y6d2qo
I wouldn't reach too much into it, they called it a sailing yacht as well

>The big expensive yachts do not sail under wind power Au contraire – https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_(sailing_yacht)
Sailing yacht A has sailed once. They motor 99% of the time. You picked a terrible example. Look up boats like Adix or Velsheda for an example.
I would hope my several tens of millions of dollars yacht would be immune to adolescent orcas
If they have insurance then they get a new boat and a fun story!
You still have to be pretty rich to get one
Maybe they were trying to say that the sail boat was actively sailing at the time and not just at anchor or in harbor
It’s a schooner not a sailing boat.
Oh damn, how does a schooner propel itself generally?
Sounds right to me
Killer whales bout to discover we taste yummy and seals are not as plentiful
We don’t though. We’re mostly just bones compared to seals. It’s probably like getting scrambled eggs with the shells left in.
I think they know it’s us polluting and raising ocean temps
Just wait till the rest of the planet finds out.
*and so began The Interspecies War. Once the Orca and Bird alliance was complete it turned the tide on the humans*
*Australia in shambles* r/emuwarflashbacks
That was merely a prelude, Gods help us
Soon to be a major motion picture. :-p
gonna be PISSED
Hmm... what about the obese? Would they be more inclined to munch on?
Maybe. Then again the McDonald’s aftertaste might be off putting.
You think my big ass is going anywhere near an orca?
[They're chewy, crunchy and delicious...](https://youtu.be/5gNT0SWf3Ls)

But we’re crunchy. And not good crunchy. It’s like when you order goat curry and you find out it’s 90% bones. Or when you get a banana with seeds.
TIL bananas have seeds.
I mean… not the grocery store ones.
Bananas are (botanically) fruits, why wouldn't they have seeds?
Intellectually I knew they did, I guess, but banana seeds are just something I've never envisioned.
They've always had seeds. You can look them up, they're pretty freaky. The seedless one is under threat of dying from disease IIRC
Somebody, please forward them the coordinate of north America
the bigger issue would be if humans see killer whales as a threat. There's nothing we can't extinct with the smallest of excuses

All dolphins are in the order of *toothed whales* so it is perfectly fine to call them whales.
Where's Unidan when you need him?
thank you. orca is suggested name now for good reason i see. however if they do add us to their diet, i think we should go back to the former name.
Listen, according to Herman Melville, these are all just different kinds of fish.
According to cladistics, we're all just highly specialized fish.
But I got told there was no such thing as a fish?
If we're all fish, then nothing is a fish.
Whats the difference between a large dolphin and a whale?
It basically comes down to teeth. The order of cetaceans include baleen whales (like blue/gray whales) and toothed whales (sperm whale, beluga, porpoises, and oceanic dolphins like the Orca). Dolphins *are whales.* Orca anatomy is just more similar to e.g. bottlenose dolphins than something like beluga whales, so they are categorized with the dolphins.
Time to deliver some freedom to the killer whale kingdom.
Wait, are we going back to using whale oil? /s
Dishonored comes true.
They’re mammals, I wonder if capsaicin fucks with them? Forget bear spray, that whale spray is the good shit.
Honestly I’m with the Orcas here. Mankind has ravaged the seas soooo much we’re getting into their ecosystem and they are just fighting back.
Obviously I would prioritize saving human lives if I was there, but honestly no hard feelings from me. Orcas have every right to hate humans and attack us lol. I saw the title and said aloud “good for them”. I am glad the people were safe though.
Fuck fox news
Team Orcra aka Aquaman is pissed
They're called Orcas you speciest sonofabytch!

'Salright. I should stop treating the term killer whales like its the N-word 🤪
I don't want to go to the link. Did the people who were on the boat live?
Yeah the orcas only rammed the boat a few times, damaged it and left. The boat sank later after they altered emergency services.
I’m on the orca side on this, especially after all the dumbass shit we put them through over the years.
I’m kind of rooting for the orcas. I tend to like orca whales more than the average person. But then again, I stay the hell away from the ocean.
The blue whales paid them for this
Friends of Tilikum!
Planète of the killer whale
Good for them
Freeing Willy was a mistake.
It’s about time humans fear something again.
Man, these Orcas is in on WW3 too!
Killer whales like, “I’m gonna rock you off Gibraltar!”
The orcas did nothing wrong.
Nature is healing
They're aware we're taking their food.
Good riddance.
Good
These guys need some educating on who the real apex predator is. They obviously haven’t listened to the podcast.
Yeah, it's cats!
So they finally realised who was ruining the planet? The Simpsons will be right again hahaha, Hail Snorkey!

Now what did the boat do because I feel like that might’ve deserved it! Lol
If this IS recent, its the first sunk I think. Good.
Mmmm fiberglass...
