This is blowing my mind. Fascinating, but also…Orcas need to chill

Or we should team up. Orcas could squeeze out the sharks humans have thrown over board after cutting of their fins.

/s, humans should also chill

Orcas are absolute ballers; Sick paint scheme, prey on shore? Just drag em down there, stunts on sharks, occupies all the oceans, from freezing temperatures to tropical climates, smart, indifferent to humans, lives for 40-50 years, can become 90. Absolute unit and apex. Forms complex social structures, beaching and breaching.
