I remember reading somewhere (probably a fisherman's tale) where the Killers would work with man and herd whales into a bay at a certain time of the year, then man would kill the whales and they would share in the catch, and so a bond was forged, but then dolphins don't eat us either, word of mouth maybe.

They are the fiercest creature on earth, not individually but as a group or pod in this case.

Whale watchers off the coast of Ballina in northern New South Wales have held a front-row seat to the gruesome spectacle of a juvenile humpback whale being devoured by a pod of killer whales.

The attack happened just 2 kilometres off the breakwall at Ballina, as the local whale-watching charter was running its Saturday morning tour.

Skipper Dean Fuchs said it was one of the most amazing sights he had ever seen out on the ocean.
Mr Fuchs said a mother humpback whale, a calf and a male escort humpback whale were frolicking in the calm conditions when a pod of about 30 orcas emerged.

The orcas managed to separate the calf from the adult humpbacks before drowning and devouring it.

Mr Fuchs said the killer whales then surrounded the tour boat for more than two hours and seemed to be celebrating their kill by bringing a bit of blubber over to the boat.
They are our friends, lucky for that.

It's been a bit of a story around here. I live in Lismore, not far from Ballina. It's been cool watching the too and fro. Poor baby humpback, orcas gotta eat and are doing their thing, tears and understanding of how nature works. Sucks for the baby and it's mum, orcas get what they need and ma Humpback loses a child. The Orcas held the baby under water till it drowned is what I have got from it.

Edit: It's funny that people can't accept man is the same.

Why don't they eat people, there is a connection going on there. We don't want to get on the wrong side of them beasts.

I could think of a few people to feed them.

They are as we are. We do eat people, not literally, but we do, we feed off their lives. We have done ever since man was. Well even sometimes literally. Nature is wonderful and ignorant of what we call cruel.

Are you saying they don't eat us because they are not cannibals, but they are fish.

They are mammals, not fish. Roll Eyes

Technically speaking yes but they have fins and flippers so they are fish like. half fish half man.

Technically nothing. They are mammals. They breed live young, feed them milk, have hair and breath air. Fish do none of that. Run along back to your little kiddies' playground where you can play with your childish friends as much as you like. Roll Eyes

some fish breathe air muppet.

One or two species, Hammer. Generally, Fish do not breath air. They do not have hair, they do not produce milk and they do not bear live young. QED.

Lung breathers[edit]
Lungfish (Dipnoi): Six species, have limb like fins, and can breathe air. Some are obligate air breathers, meaning they will drown if not given access to breathe air. Some species will bury in the mud when the body of water they live in dries up, surviving up to two years until water returns.
Bichir (Polypteridae):12 species, are the only ray-finned fish to retain lungs. They are facultative air-breathers, requiring access to surface air to breathe in poorly oxygenated water.[1]
Various other "lunged" fish: now extinct, a few of this group were ancestors of the stem tetrapods that led to all tetrapods: Lissamphibia, sauropsids and mammals.

there's 18 species for fish with lungs.

And then there's a load of Gill or skin breathers.

1 or 2 species??? Grin

And mammals don't generally live in the sea. So?

Some fish do. They come out alive. And not all mammals reproduce internally with a placenta either.

Mr Fuchs said a mother humpback whale, a calf and a male escort humpback whale were frolicking in the calm conditions when a pod of about 30 orcas emerged.

The orcas managed to separate the calf from the adult humpbacks before drowning and devouring it.

Mr Fuchs said the killer whales then surrounded the tour boat for more than two hours and seemed to be celebrating their kill by bringing a bit of blubber over to the boat.
They are our friends, lucky for that.

It's been a bit of a story around here. I live in Lismore, not far from Ballina. It's been cool watching the too and fro. Poor baby humpback, orcas gotta eat and are doing their thing, tears and understanding of how nature works. Sucks for the baby and it's mum, orcas get what they need and ma Humpback loses a child. The Orcas held the baby under water till it drowned is what I have got from it.

Edit: It's funny that people can't accept man is the same.

Why don't they eat people, there is a connection going on there. We don't want to get on the wrong side of them beasts.

I could think of a few people to feed them.

They are as we are. We do eat people, not literally, but we do, we feed off their lives. We have done ever since man was. Well even sometimes literally. Nature is wonderful and ignorant of what we call cruel.

Are you saying they don't eat us because they are not cannibals, but they are fish.

They are mammals, not fish. Roll Eyes

Technically speaking yes but they have fins and flippers so they are fish like. half fish half man.

Technically nothing. They are mammals. They breed live young, feed them milk, have hair and breath air. Fish do none of that. Run along back to your little kiddies' playground where you can play with your childish friends as much as you like. Roll Eyes

some fish breathe air muppet.

One or two species, Hammer. Generally, Fish do not breath air. They do not have hair, they do not produce milk and they do not bear live young. QED.

Lung breathers[edit]
Lungfish (Dipnoi): Six species, have limb like fins, and can breathe air. Some are obligate air breathers, meaning they will drown if not given access to breathe air. Some species will bury in the mud when the body of water they live in dries up, surviving up to two years until water returns.
Bichir (Polypteridae):12 species, are the only ray-finned fish to retain lungs. They are facultative air-breathers, requiring access to surface air to breathe in poorly oxygenated water.[1]
Various other "lunged" fish: now extinct, a few of this group were ancestors of the stem tetrapods that led to all tetrapods: Lissamphibia, sauropsids and mammals.

there's 18 species for fish with lungs.

And then there's a load of Gill or skin breathers.

1 or 2 species??? Grin

And mammals don't generally live in the sea. So?

There are also fish that bear live young.

Actually, they don't, not in the way Mammals do. They gestate their eggs internally and hatch them, internally and then release them. Yes, there are some fishes with primitive lungs but as I have said, they are the exceptions to the rule. Fish, generally do not breath air, they do not bear live young, they do not feed them on milk and they do not have hair. Orcas and other whales and porpoises and dolphins do. QED. Roll Eyes

And thus they bear live young. They do not lay eggs, their young come out alive.

Then we also have the mammals that lay eggs.

Boy, don't you get all wriggley wormy when what you said is pointed out to be incorrect.

Grey Nurse Sharks give birth to live young, some of which eat their younger siblings inside the womb for a 'warm up' to popping out into the most predatorial world - the sea.

Orca know not to kill Humans, because they know we are dangerous. They did in the past, especially during the Whaling Era of Old Nantucket days. Orca would 'attack' the Boats (Not Ships) of Whalers as if they knew they were a threat... back then. But 80ft Sperm Whale Bulls (especially a famous 'real' White one Wink

) and other Whale species Bulls would ram Ships and intentionally defend themselves against the beast known as Man.

Orca (Dolphins) will attack Whale 'kiddies' like Indian Men attack kiddies. Orca do it for food. Indian Men and South African Witch Doctors attack kiddies for sinister pleasure.

Orca have brains like us, but they also have 'more' than just what we have.
We have hands, but we don't have fins.

I would have a better chance of fighting off a Great White Shark underwater, than an Orca.

Atm - Orca are also hunted by over-populated nations (like Mexico) as they are seen as 'Thieves' who steal the ever-depleting fish from fishermen. Roll Eyes

Humanity are much like Aliens in our Evil will to Survive.

African witch doctors kill albino children and use their bones for magic. I wonder if orcas hunt beluga whales for the same reason?

I know a way to test if orcas would kill people... Throw Shorten in amongst a pod and see if they treat him like a beluga whale.

We could also test if great whites like potato by throwing Dutton in amongst some burley.

All in the name of science, mind.
