When I was a young Orca I liked to poke boats all the time, but that's just because I was really horny and the female Orcas wouldn't have me.

i was fascinated with this video.i thought this young orca was imitating the sound of a boat motor.
turns out he was an orphan and did indeed love motor boats.
from y/t:
Unfortunately, Luna died tragically as a result of accident. Once he played racing with a motor boat, its captain was also carried away by a play with the orca and he made an unexpected manoeuvre. Luna collided with the vanes and got split to pieces. The man sincerely blamed himself because of this accident but this mistake can't be corrected - Luna died. The motors that he loved so much became the result of his death...

now i am sad......

A friend sent me this video, and I thought it was cute, but didn't make the connection.

I'm going to make them an offer they can't refuse. Tuna Salad, or Orca Casserole.

This can also be done to sharks if you turn them upside down to induce tonic immobility. There is a video floating around of an Orca/Killer Whale turning a Great White upside down before killing it.

Wikipedia has a good page about these kind of trances: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_death

For a good ride it's worth it. Just wear your Orca repellent, L'odeur des Palin!

I want to know where this is... That's an epic left! I'd love to be on a longboard there.

Actually I would counter that you wouldn't given that there are frisky orcas in the water!

I want one in orca.

and if those were orca and the victims seal pups: oh, the horror.

Wow. As cute as he is, I'm not sure I'd want to be on that little boat, surrounded by those hungry orcas who know where the penguin is.

An Orca 9-10 meters.
A Great White Shark 6 meters.

Not a big challenge, really.
And it's not really as big of a deal as it's been blown up to here.
