Orcas are the shite and the baddest predator in the ocean (unless the Cracken ever surfaces)

The way they use team work is crazy. Remember on Planet Earth when they choreographed their tale waves to rock a piece of ice until a seal fell off? fricking wild.

Hmmm, I guess there's a reason they aren't named ocean ponies.

Can the sharks breathe and/or swim when turned over? Serious question. I've read that the orcas flip them over and gut them.

They go catatonic. So smart by the whales to do this to sharks.

The thought that dolphins and orcas have hunting strategies just astounds me.

Sea lions aren't really lions. Sea cucumbers aren't really cucumbers. Where does it stop?

I'm starting to think any animal name with "sea" in it is just a lie.

So, should we now want frickin orcas with frickin "lazer beams" attached to their frickin heads instead of frickin sharks with frickin "lazer beams" attached to their frickin heads?

If they aren't sentient they are near sentient.

We're just lucky primates grabbed the ball before Ursines or elephants did on land.

Whales also have defensive strategies against Orcas. They will put their calves in the middle of a circle and defend them with their tails.

No shite, I always wonder if a full grown white shark could beat a killer whale. Sharks have the speed and I would think in this situation, them being smaller than the whale would be in their favor, but I guess I was wrong. I know there are other type of whales great whites would frick up, but I always considered the great whites to be the lions of the ocean, but I guess that crown goes to the killer whales.
