"Can Heavy Metal Music Really Stop Killer Whales from Ramming Boats?"
Sailors in southwestern Europe have resorted to blasting heavy metal music through underwater speakers in an attempt to deter killer whales from ramming boats. The reason behind the increase in attacks is unknown, leaving animal behavioralists puzzled. While some sailors claim that playing heavy metal music has been effective in preventing attacks, others have had no success. Reports suggest that the behavior may be spreading among the orca population, with younger whales learning it from their elders. The attacks have caused damage to boats and even resulted in vessels being capsized. Scientists speculate that the orcas may be playing games or seeking revenge for past trauma, but the exact motivation remains unclear.
