I always know when a pod is in the area when the sea lions and harbor seals get out of the water and onto the docks. They are badass hunters

there are several orca pods in the gulf


Natural habitat is deep cold waters.

Places like the gulf that are shallower and tend to be warmer aren't natural locations for them.

I don't know, but the shark show hosted by Shaq was cheesy as snap.

Yeah but that just goes to show that orcas are capable of striking anywhere and everywhere.

They’re like the US navy of ocean predators.

Shark week was cool years ago before they went the mockumentary and reality show path. It was actually educational and interesting. The same can be said for all of the Discovery/History/TLC channels in all of their programming.

I watched about 5 mins of a shark week show last night, it was with Guy fricking Fieri.

I found myself hoping that he would get eaten.

I watched a show last night about how orcas are going after pods of dolphins too.



ive seen one not sure if it was the same but they pursue these huge pods of dolphins and then eventually cut a few out of the school...its amazing how they have the endurance they do along with their size. Those dolphins are scared af

On a fishing trip offshore of Grand Isle in the "canyons" we saw a group of adult sperm whales swimming just a few yards from the boat. Talk about scared AF.

Orcas hunt in packs and are crazy intelligent which makes me have nightmares.


You really have nightmares about whales?
