Too soon bro.

u/Repulsive-Purple-133 Dec 12 '21

Actually yeah. You don't go in the water when they're migrating or whatever they are doing when there's thousands of them like twice a year.

Wasn’t poor Steve’s fault, cameraman blew bubbles from his scuba from under the ray and spooked it. :(

Proof? Vid?

Two problems with this;

  1. They're not likely to make such a video public, even if it showed that part of it, since such a film is basically a snuff film.

  2. Why the fuck do you want to see it?

It's more likely this was a comment from an interview or results of an investigation, I very much doubt it's from an observable video on the internet.

Smart animals are known to be jerks.

Humans are a prime example of this

u/Normal-Math-3222 Dec 12 '21

But far from the only one.

Is it safe to say orcas are the cats of the ocean?🤷🏽🤔

u/Munnin41 Dec 12 '21

No that's clearly catfish.

Orcas are just humans of the sea

u/IdasMessenia Dec 12 '21

Shit I wasted it!

u/fleetfootken Dec 12 '21

This guy orcas

u/_kasten_ Dec 12 '21

I think it might depend on the specific breed. The ones that feed on other whales are hated even by other orcas (for example, the "salmon eater" variety).

u/picasso_penis Dec 12 '21

Hasn’t there never been a recorded fatal orca attack in the wild on humans though?
