Found this online, not sure who took it or I would give them credit. This is why the ocean is terribly scary to me.

There isn’t a single reported case of an Orca killing a human in the wild. That only happens in captivity

I dunno, to see the waves rise and fall, sky of gray, the passing giants natural power & a "Theory of Everything" soundtrack? Kinda soothing

I saw this pic awhile ago and did research to track down the photographer. Consensus is that it is fake, but really cool and well done

The more you know...thank you.

If you dig deeper this is all that’s ever said about the pic, no other info, I eventually found someone who said their cousin posted 1/2
Taxonomyanomaly
2/2 it on fb with that caption as a hoax and it went viral, but no one has been able to find the original pic or photographer.

I find the suburbs way more terrifying than the ocean.

As someone w/ friends in the burbs, i promise. They're way more terrifying than you could imagine. Stepford Wives shit.

They play toss with baby seals before they eat them.

You got issues if this is the most terrifying picture you've ever seen.

That is exactly the opposite of my response. I love these beautiful mammals.

You need to look at some other pics man. These are killer whales jamming out in the ocean.

Guess you never worked at sea, saw all kinds of stuff when I worked in the bering sea.
NedwardStark
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say most people have never worked the sea
NSFWinAustin
Nope. I’m a coward when it comes to the sea. Can you share some things you saw? I’m fascinated.

You should checkout r/thalassophobia if you’re scared and/or fascinated by the ocean

These orcas have that "I been in Seaworld..." look in their eyes...

What if they do and just not leave any witnesses?

Came to say that lol. There are surprisingly few fatal incidents with orcas involving humans
SirButcher
*surprisingly few fatal incidents where they left any survivor or eyewitness.
imgrBlowsSftDck69
the only recorded incidents are from ones trapped in a box for years.
Tikityler
No evidence of it happening in the wild, all recorded ones are in captivity.

Orcas are just big dolphins. They're playing in the waves
redletterservices
They act as police occasionally - they’re the black & whites.

With murderous intent

To me, the scary part is the scale involved... The comparison of those waves to the size I know orcas are, to the size I know humans are

Orcas are the apex predators of the oceans. Nothing tops them.

For real?

they have no natural predators. theyre bigger than great whites, and hunt them on occasion. theyre also the smartest animals in the ocean.

They kill for sport, just because

Chill the eff out dude. The captive ones are CAPTIVE WILD ANIMALS. No one should be surprised they don't domesticate well.

I also didn't say they arent dangerous. I said they're big dolphins and they're playing. 1st is true, 2nd is likely.

From the Wikipedia page: "The killer whale or orca is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family" so yea, they're big dolphins.

Search orca and dawn, then you'll know.

Big chomp dolphins that didn't earn 'killer whale' for being all cuddles & sunshine.
Rifneno
While true, the wild ones don't chomp humans. Perfectly safe.
ChancesAreGreat
hes right i dont think theres ever been a confirmed attack in the wild
Achievetheimpossible
+1 for Chomp Dolphins
TheKingRamen
They are pure evil. They kill for sport. They learn and work in tandem
discotheque42
They are wild animals with zero concept of morality. It is wrong to apply a human construct to them.
TheKingRamen
Evil does not have to be aware that it is evil.
ThePotatoBandit
That kill whales, great white sharks, and pretty much whatever else they feel like.

Each pod of orca generally has a specific prey they spend their whole lives eating, raised by the oldest female to do so.

They are THE apex predator of the ocean.

What about a bull sperm whale?
AimlessSavant
While they are huge, and are toothed, they mostly hunt collosal squid. However ORCAS HUNT THEM. By bodyslamming a surfacing Sperm whale.

They are?

They can kill any other predator in the ocean without a hitch. They are one of the largest carnivorous animals in the ocean second two the

weirdloudman
They don’t typically kill humans!
ReverandNick
Except for, ya know, ALL THOSE TIMES THEY DID. if we spent more time in the ocean, they'd probably kill us more
weirdloudman
If I’m not wrong, from watching black fish they don’t actively seek out humans... but in captivity they tend to get riled up and eat humans
superbest
No black fish said there were no RECORDED wild orca human kills. However unknown how many are UNRECORDED. Can't record it if they eat them
EBlade19889
Only one person recorded as killed by a wild orca. Four killed and ~ 12 injured by orcas in captivity. Not really much of a body count

Sooooo..... Like regular dolphins then? Dolphins will fuck u up, cuh. You ain't allowed in these waters.

They play with their food

So they're just ocean faring cats?

They're just misunderstood. They'll grow out of it. I was wild once too ya'know

As opposed to rape dolphins.

Pretty sure murder dolphins are just regular dolphins

Those are rapey Dolphins.

Pink dolphins, but i think those fall under rapey
davebeastly
Have they killed people in the wild? I thought the only recorded deaths by orca had been from ones in captivity.
girlsdontp00p
They don’t leave witnesses you fool!
AjaxMaior
Yes they have. but it's relatively blown out of proportion. Also depends on the pod -migratory vs residential - among a host of other things
AimlessSavant
You are indeed correct, however they kill animals several tines the size of humans. Not too far fetched to say a human could be hunted.
DannyCaiger
You're right. There's never been a recorded attack on humans by an orca. Source: my dissertation subject was interactions of Killer Whales.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
We aren't really like something from their diet, so it's pretty unlikely one would hunt you to eat you, and despite the stigma the name give
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
Killer whales have a pretty gentle nature. The name comes from when we've seen them forced to defend themselves from like a great white or a
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
Smthn.We're not a species that should be getting into situations where we've provoked an orca to attack. Hence why they've been in captivity
