Orcas' Increasingly Efficient Boat Attacks
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Insider
A ship captain, Dan Kriz, who has had his boats attacked by orcas twice, believes that the orcas are becoming more organized and faster in their attacks. Kriz noticed marked differences in the ways the orcas behaved during the latest attack, which was more organized and swifter compared to the one three years ago. The orcas' increasingly aggressive behavior has seen them ramming and even sinking boats. Some marine life experts believe that a traumatized orca called White Gladis may have kickstarted the trend of orca boat attacks. Nonetheless, experts have cautioned sailors against retaliating against the orcas and to instead remain calm.
