Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

I heard about this today. I thought no animal could be as silly as humans but here you go.
wasn't there a whole thing about orcas fucking with boats recently? and people think that it was literally started by a specific singular orca teaching her pod how to fuck up boats. i might be misremembering it but i think that's a thing that happened recently.
It is happening. I looked into it briefly and it is happening in Europe, but the interesting part is that they haven't been able to determine which type of orca is doing the attacks.
Orca's are essentially tribal. Different parts of the world have different types of orca, but they're not really a different species. It's more like how we have different 'races'. Certain geographically defined groups have certain identifiable characteristics. And the orca's doing the attacks don't uh... fit the description... of the orca's that are normally found in the region. Which is pretty interesting in itself, it could be a rare trait, a chromosomal disorder, or interbreeding. Interbreeding between orca groups is also pretty rare because they're kind of racist against eachother and quite territorial, not to say it doesn't happen though.
I vote we all start wearing dead salmon on our heads. For the 0.0001 percent of us who get it, it'll be great. Plus it'll keep the other people away.
I would, but the orca pod from this post is my local pod. They might try to steal my hat!
I'd like to see a photo of this... (Googled, didn't find)
It's so nice to see a discussion about Orcas where people call them "orcas"!
