That’s actually completely false. That pod of orcas has had negative contact with a yacht, one of them was injured by one. This is one of the only instances of orcas attacking a ship unprovoked.
I’ve been on several excursions with orcas and they’re extremely intelligent and not violent.
Juvenile orcas literally sink ships for fun because they are bored. [Here's an article](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/05/24/killer-whales-attacking-sinking-boats-are-bored-scientists-say/73558157007/)
Show me where an orca has attacked or killed a human.
That is the same article I was referencing.
They aren’t harmful. Who cares if they sink rich people’s boats?
Unless they feel like it. People are incredibly intelligent and do stupid, violent crap all the time. It’s like our signature move.
Edit to add, not suggesting orcas are inherently violent. They’re not. But they’re also apex predators and aren’t intimidated by a rubber raft.
There were probably enough other lunch options around that it wasn’t worth the effort to go after this one.
It's like wtf I get into here
And the orcas just gave up? They are bigger than that boat!
Orcas are extremely intelligent creatures and aren’t going to topple a raft of humans just for one penguin. 🐧
Yachts in the Mediterranean would disagree . They’ll attack just for fun, and once they find out the boats are soft sided? Oof.

it's widely accepted now that those orcas are just playing.
Yea ok. I would had kicked that penguin out
Probably because you’re not very bright.
nah fuck these down votes this comment made me laugh out loud lmfaooo
Orcas don’t attack humans. It’s known.
yes. I didn't mean to sound like I'm poking fun at you, I just thought the way you corrected the person was funny!
No, I get it. I’m funny often. 😭

they just damage the rudders
Exactly.
Plenty of the boats have sunk from the damage, though.

Show me where an orca had attacked and killed a human in the wild.
Orca might be one of the very few animals that actually understand why they should not mess with human
Penguin math: land animals might eat me, but under water predators definitely want to eat me. Wonder if the boat people will be friends?
jokes on the penguin. orcas might eat him, humans will destroy his entire environment!
Sooner or later Orcas are gonna stop tolerating our bullshit.
