In the coast of Portugal and Spain, even as far as Scotland, my home country, the killer whales are attacking boats, attacking the rudders, and even teaching this to other pods of whales. This is wild. Some people say it's for revenge, some people say it's survival, and some say that the whales are just having good times.

Yeah, my guess is that they are all doing it as part of a huge practical joke and then they swim around the corner and they're like Oh mate, mate, did you see their faces when I knocked into their boat? Oh mate, oh Yeah, that's what they're doing, they're just having a little fun It's terrifying

This was my favourite response to this post. Yeah, look at their faces, that got me. Seriously, that might be the case. It's supposed to be the young whales, but maybe the wildlife experts are trying to not make us panic. Like, yo, the whales are declared war on us. Who knows? You've seen the episode of the Simpsons, right? Where the dolphins take over. Because they are dolphins, right? But it was actual dolphins in the episode.

Interesting, yeah, I actually read about this, I don't know, a couple of months ago in the Guardian or one of those newspapers online and the theory is that it's some sort of pot of whales doing it as revenge attacks on people's boats, but yeah, it's pretty unheard of isn't it? Very strange, peculiar phenomenon.

Well yeah it was unheard of and then they started doing it like I think 2020 it started and now it's spreaded to other pods because it is just in Portugal, Spain and now it's in Scotland. Obviously they travel around but yeah they've, they're adapting. So yeah pretty soon whales are going to be formidable opponents, yep that's it, they're upgrading their strategies.

Yeah, here in Spain they sank three boats off the Iberian Peninsula and scientists were on the news and just said the particular killer whale pods are young and are probably just having fun. It's insane. Absolutely crazy.

Probably just having fun. Not at the expense of my boat, plus I'm scared of water. At least they don't attack people when they go in the water. But yeah, sank three boats and they've damaged so many boats, it's crazy. They go directly for the rudders, it's like coordinated. Those juvenile whales are not to be messed with. Pretty scary, but amazing animals still.

See they've never actually been known to attack humans but what's happened is because they they learn different ways to hunt like they did with seals and one of one one killer whales attacked a boat and it's teaching other killer whales to attack boats so now that's just going to be a thing that's probably going to be crossed passed down from you know just from killer whales in general.

True, true, they don't attack humans in the wild, but they've done it in captivity. I don't know, because they're annoyed or whatever, but yeah. Hopefully they ain't just keeping the option opened. They're like, let's learn how to sink these boats. If we're ever really hungry, we'll eat one of these humans. Hopefully that isn't the case. Hopefully it's not like the Simpsons episode, where dolphins are supposed to take over. That'd be crazy.

Yeah, so the first instance of this happening, um, was to do with a pod, where one of the, um, calves got, like, fucked up by a propeller, and then, yeah, the mother started fucking them up, fucking up the rudders and whatnot with the rest of the pod, and, yeah, they were teaching it to other pods. At least that's what I heard on the podcast. Huh. No pun intended.

Nah, I think that's basically what I know, eh, they've had like a bad experience with like a propeller and now they're just like attacking them, smashing them, breaking them. They've even sunk three boats, it's crazy. But, let's just see, let's just see if this progresses, I mean if they start attacking people who fall off into the water, then we'll need to start messing them up. Yeah, you don't know what we've got.

Silly killer whales, we're all friendly to whales, but not anymore. You declared war, but at the episode of the Simpsons where the dolphins start taking over, that's where I think, that's where we're heading, yep.

Liam, it's a million percent for revenge. Uh, Kunti and I figured this out the other night. It's all the animals. All the animals want revenge. They've had it. They've had it with us. I don't blame them. They're coming for us. And, um, we just need to watch out. So, started with the whales and the sharks and it's just gonna get worse. So, hold on. Hold on to your humanity.
