Damn.... racism shows its ugly face again
neodare
It's a feud that started over 100 years ago between the Humpbacks and Orcas. The Orcas supposedly stole one of the Humpbacks hogs in 1878
imnotinthewitnessprotectionprogram
Because Orcas aren’t whales, they are porpoises. Also, the word orca means whale killer. As in orcas do actively hunt/stalk/kill most whales

Everybody hates a bully.
victoraurel77
one way to decrease the numbers of praditors is to kill them by hunger , way to go whales
downvotemebish
I've come to the conclusion that humpbacks are racists.
BestUserNameInTheHistoryOfUserNames
Saw a baby humpback washed up on the shore. Killer whale only ate the eyes and the tongue. They are jerks.
schoenertaktak
because orcas are assholes

Because that's what heros do. Do good and don't even ask for fake internet points

I've always loved humpback whales since the day I did a "book report" in them in first grade. Such nice, peaceful, and curious creatures.

Maybe humpbacks are full of love, maybe they are full of spite.

It's a battle of rich history from long ago

Maybe the Orcas were being dicks (shrugs)
KingMercenary
Orcas are fucking dicks

The ancient blood-feud must continue!

The last part is such BS. Of course no source is provided but anyone who took HS biology should know why this benefits them.
TimeFoDat
Orcas are predators; they compete for resources and they prey on young whales. Why wouldn't animals develop hostile instincts towards them?
TimeFoDat
This is like saying, "Elephants like to kick Lion's asses but nobody can figure out why!" get fucking real.
Mokelzwerg
I think they fucking hate Orcas (if they’re able to hate). They are the only predators (except humans) who can hurt them or hunt their young
Canis138
Yeah they're probably smart enough to specifically spite Orcas

QI once told me that Killer Whale is a mistranslation from Spanish and that in Spanish they're called Whale Killer(s). Can anyone confirm?
jemappelletosca
Interesting
Soggybathroomsock
Quite
yifin
Whale killers was the original wording but that got flipped around.

I was going to call bs on you. My bad. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/what-humpback-whales-teach-us-compassion-180964545/

Like seriously, have these guys not had any classes on natural selection or read books by Richard Dawkins? Altruism is a man-made fantasy.
TimeFoDat
Just because an opinion is in a respected publication doesn't instantly validate it. I read it, I'm incredulous, what are they thinking?
ialwayswantedthat
I’m not necessarily claiming “altruism,” but the behavior has been observed.

Humpback whales would wear a mask when shopping for food
Gofdunk
Actually they would be hats, not masks. Blowholes are on the top of their heads.
DVSBSTrD
They even enforce social distancing on krill.
Aliubi
And return the cart
Canis138
Orcas would eat a burger after pumping gas.

During a party in their backyard right before going to church

They can also talk space cylinders out of destroying earth and can survive time travel

That's my favorite Star Trek movie, no joke, I don't care that's it's kinda corny. It's so much fun!
TooDoggoneFunny
My favourite moment is when Spock neck pinches the punk with the obnoxiously loud music.
ElephantsFootOfDirtyLaundry
It had a lotta good moments in it, plus you can tell they had fun making it, which always makes it better
Ornado
Used to live in the country side of MN and our cats were stupidly amazing hunters. We had teachers/neighbors that would BORROW our cats...
Ornado
to clear out mice/rodents and the cats would leave the bodies on their decks in little lines. All self taught behaviour. Very primp/proper..
Ornado
When we moved to a city we still let them outside (got the collars/chips) and cleared out the local bird population for like 6 blocks...
Ornado
Seagulls/pigeons/crows w/e. We put them on our GF's farm where they protect chickens (they havent killed one yet?) and clear out barn mice.
Ornado
My aunt lets them into her house (first time ever she let cats in her house) and she loves them. Amazing cats, love me to death.
