Apparently killer whales or Orcas are teaching their young to hit boats in European waters. They're going for the rudders. They think one of them had an incident with a boat.

Honestly, we owe whales some serious restitution.

I've seen footage of kiler whales playing with the prey before the kill tossing a seal around like a ball.

They would make excellent gangsters. They are sending a message-this is our turf.

Sounds like real good news to me. For centuries men have been killing off the whale population (and most other living things on this planet). Now, the whales have decided to turn the tide and give people back some of their own medicine. I wonder how those folks in the boats like it? The phrase "just desserts" come to mind!

Ever have one of those late night thoughts (makes sense to you, but maybe not to anyone else) watching the news reporting on a shark attack. You're watch the reporter, who reminds you of Mr. Obvious, making comments & talking about the viciousness of the shark making it sound like it was premeditated.

Think about it, he didn't come out of the water & go on the beach to attack the person. We trespassed into the sharks home ground & then splashed in the water like a dying fish making him think dinner arrived. Isn't the shark just being what nature intended him to be? Just my late night thought.

"Killer whales" aren't really whales, they are actually a species of dolphin.

I didn't know that. They are beautiful animals & very intelligent.
