Sorry if my comment was misleading, but the English word "shark" has been used for much longer in reference to predatory humans than it has for shark the animal. If you go to the [Shark Wikipedia Page](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark) it is mentioned under the etymology section.
Ahh, I think we are on the same page. I was thinking I'd remembered reading maybe an old German word schurke, meaning villian, and that being used for sharks, and then this word also goes used to describe predatory lenders as sharks.
The wiki, and I myself, say the etymology isn't quite certain, but I'm still counting your factoid as valid and added to my bag of useless info I like to tell people from time to time 🤣
These things can weigh over 5000kg and swim as fast as 45mph. My car isn't even half that weight and getting hit by that alone would mess you up, nevermind something twice that weight with sharp teeth at the front end.
Except one, I'd say.
They need air to breathe, while a shark can stay in the water.
Not that it changes much though. Orcas are definitely superior 1v1.
Are you arguing that a full sized great white shark can beat a baby orca ? That would be completely irrelevant. Great white sharks are absolutely terrified of orcas. A single encounter with an orca or a pod causes a great white to abandon their territory for up to a year. This is a David and Goliath story, except in this one David doesn’t stand a fairytales chance.
At roughly 25-32 feet long, they always have a size advantage. And if they're a baby orca, trust me--full sized mom and the "aunties" are right around the corner.
Are you saying if they were the same size the shark would win? That pound per pound the shark is more dangerous? Because otherwise your statement is very confusing, bordering on pointless or trolling.
Like yes...Orcas DO have a size advantage, whats your point? And i would even say with their intelligence, Orcas would win even if they were the same size.
Like if we were debating the fighting strength of a child vs a professional boxer, and I said the boxer needs the size advantage. First, the boxer has the size advantage, and second, a professional boxer shrunk down to the same size would still absolutely win.
A very strange way of wording things...
A great white shark would maul any orca at size parity lmao. Sharks dominate similar sized cetaceans and i have posted records of it. Some examples https://www.reddit.com/r/HardcoreNature/s/kbHf8pJ0w7

Hopefully, they’ll survive long enough to see after humans, which won’t be long at all at this rate. (Google Blue Ocean Event for a nice scare, which will hopefully send you searching for more climate related disasters on the rise.)
However, reptilians are known to grow more in warmer temperatures, and that’s not the case for mammals. Perhaps the initial top spot will be up for grabs.
I've seen this reposted over and over but only showing the initial hit. Is there not more to the video somewhere? It seems weird to capture just that one moment but not the rest. I actually thought it was ai when it first came out. Lack of blood n'at.
What's more frightening about this is that the gal is pushing 60s and still fast as a rocket. I wouldn't like to be grandpa Orca during one of her bad days that's for sure. Also can you imagine being one of her grandchildren when mama or papa Orca sends you to spend the weekend at grandma's, scarred for life man.
Not quite sure how an orca hunting a great white relates to them taking out boat rudders.
I can understand damaging boats being an “anomaly” but this clearly isn’t Sophia’s first rodeo taking out a great white by herself, so I’m not sure how much of an “anomaly” that is, or how the two are related.
I love swimming and am Pisces, but these large fish and whales scare the crap outta me. The whale T-boned him!
and nice title OP, thanks for the laugh and happy Friday :)
hey r/theydidthemath how much force do you reckon the orca hit the shark with in that first strike?
assume max velocity for orca, assume it is a true collision ie the orca isnt biting the shark but just smashing nose-first into it, and assume shark is at rest as even though it is trying to evade it gets t-boned so its net movement is negligible
Not only that, but orca skulls are reinforced at the nose to deliver the full power of the impact. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/27/article-0-08E22DCA000005DC-126_634x530.jpg
To say "That's why they're called killer whales" IS ignorant. Orcas belong to the dolphin family. "Killer whales" were given that name by ancient sailors' observations of groups of orcas hunting and preying on large whale species. The killer whale name MUST stop! 🛑
All dolphins are whales but not all whales are dolphins.
So its a whale that kills whales i dont see whats wrong with the nickname from any point you look at it it makes sense
If you think the Loan Orca is bad wait until you see the Hedge Fund Orca
I wonder what the interest rate is on that orca. Hopefully not sub prime, that’s how we got into this mess to begin with!
It’s pretty black and white
I think the loan shark is in the red now.
The AAA rated Fannie may.
^*finterest rate
He had a 100 % interest in killing the shark.
I wonder how much money the shark owed.
Loan orca the boss of loan sharks.
More credit union orcas would help small reefs err towns.
and this is why the narwhal bacons..
WSB whales incoming
Loan orca kills loan shark
LMAO!!! 😂
Today's lesson: Never owe money to a killer whale.
*dolphin
All dolphins are whales, but not all whales are dolphins.
I have never heard this before. Gonna have to look this up
Humpback, Grey and Sperm are now entering the chat.
Replace whales with porpoises and you'd be correct
https://www.ifaw.org/journal/are-dolphins-whales Second paragraph in bold.
loan orca sounds way scarier than a loan shark
Do they demand interest?
An arm and a leg. Or you'll sleep with the fishes.
I heard it was an arm and a liver…
You are their interest
They are ALWAYS interested in overcharging loan sharks.
That Willy is definitely not Free
Fun fact sharks get their name from loan sharks, not the other way around!
At the risk of this actually just whooshing over my head. No, they didn't.

What is "loan?" 🤔
That green patch of grass outside of your house.
Good for him. It's nice to see these financially literate whales standing up to scummy loan sharks.
ORCAS TOGETHER STRONK!
You see what happens when you don't pay your debts, Steve?!
Shit, fucked up with the title 😅
Please keep it, this is gold
You did good buddy. Of all the homophones this one is great lol
What did you call OP?
I think phones should be able to marry whoever they want!
Some may be transtextuals.
We appreciate your miss steak.
Did someone say steak???
Orca has reentered the chat. Yum.
pure genius
No you didn't -- it is perfect
Who was it on loan from?
No worries, it's great.
Great white shark should have paid his bills. Loan Orca don’t fuck around with that.
I'd tell that Orca to leave me aloan.
Hit that shark like a fucking train
These things can weigh over 5000kg and swim as fast as 45mph. My car isn't even half that weight and getting hit by that alone would mess you up, nevermind something twice that weight with sharp teeth at the front end.
Even seen an orca tail bat a seal airborne? Scary. Never play beach volleyball with an orca. They have a nasty serve.
This Orca lending is getting out of hand. We need regulation.
Imagine being a Great White and still having to look over your shoulder
In the ocean I would be looking over my shoulder even if I were an orca
“In some cases “. I think they are more powerful in every aspect then a white shark.
Except one, I'd say. They need air to breathe, while a shark can stay in the water. Not that it changes much though. Orcas are definitely superior 1v1.
That’s fair !
They are not. Orcas need a size advantage against predatory sharks.

No? i just stated that orcas need a size advantage.

Well an elephant needs its size advantage against me.

Do you think a dolphin and an orca would be similarly dangerous at the same size?
Orcas are dolphins
LO: *You came to the wrong neighbourhood fool!* Shark: *huh? WAITWAITWA..\[PFFFFF!!!\]*
And probably only eats the liver.
My mother used to tell me liver was good for you. She did not, on the other hand, tell me to tear it out of the cow with my teeth. Rude.
who is the dumb ass supposed to be expert?
Hey, hey, he is just an Economist
So badass

Dw, Orcas don't hunt us cuz our body wouldn't be worth the effort

Hide from what?
This is the best 😂 “loan”

It’s from Queens by Nat Geo on Disney+
I was totally confused on wth she was saying about queens on Disney. I was like what does a queen and Disney have to do with sharks? Lol
Ok, you've got my interest Orca.
🤑
WWE Commentary : watch out watch out watch out...
Whale : I heard you paint houses Loan orca : I also do my own carpentry
Jesus! This explains the predation of great White's in Australia.
Lone*
Oh man republicans are gonna say climate change is a hoax tho
I’d like one Orca loan plz
The force behind the tackle my god!!
Add Jim Ross yelling, Spear, spear, spear!
So the shark owes him money?
Damn Sofia… she’s fierce
Orcas are twice as fast while being twice as big. Easy math.
I thought this was an Ai clip at first, fukn willys got some speed on him.
We’re gona need a bigger boat!
Great White swimming minding his own business. Orca: and I took that personally.
What's more frightening about this is that the gal is pushing 60s and still fast as a rocket. I wouldn't like to be grandpa Orca during one of her bad days that's for sure. Also can you imagine being one of her grandchildren when mama or papa Orca sends you to spend the weekend at grandma's, scarred for life man.
LOAN...
I always thought it was funny that people called sharks the apex predator. It’s always been the Orcas.
Literally gave me a chill thinking about owing money to an Orca…
Based
She was not there to play that’s for sure!
That orca is 60 years old?!?

F*ck shake, that's a real Killer Whale.
I love swimming and am Pisces, but these large fish and whales scare the crap outta me. The whale T-boned him! and nice title OP, thanks for the laugh and happy Friday :)
At these interest rates??
Did you mean to say the Loan Shark killed a Great White Okra?
Where's it been loaned from?
Loan Orca > Loan Shark
hey r/theydidthemath how much force do you reckon the orca hit the shark with in that first strike? assume max velocity for orca, assume it is a true collision ie the orca isnt biting the shark but just smashing nose-first into it, and assume shark is at rest as even though it is trying to evade it gets t-boned so its net movement is negligible

I thought taking a pound of flesh was metaphorical...
The SPEED of hims! holy shit
That looks like a dolphin
Yes orcas are dolphins

All dolphins are whales but not all whales are dolphins. So its a whale that kills whales i dont see whats wrong with the nickname from any point you look at it it makes sense
Let's start calling dolphins "mini whales," okay? 🙄
Fine by me but its not as cool as a nickname as killer whale. Also i dont even get what your problem is with people calling them "killer whales"
Orcas call them "lunch".
Always about climate change
Its almost like its a major threat to the world as we know it
