    Default Orcas.

    There has been a spare of attacks by orcas targeting sailing yachts. Off the coast's of Spain, Portugal and Morocco recently. The main target of the orcas seem to be the yachts rudder even capsizing the yacht on a few occasions.
    Scientists have put forward the theory that they are training their young to hunt Atlantic blue fin tuna.
    There has also been reports of orcas killing humpback whales off the California coast.
    So forget sharks, orcas are coming for you in revenge for being kept in pools at sea world and made to perform for a handful of small fish. LOL

    Hi John. They are highly intelligent and can hunt in packs. There is video footage of them killing and eating the liver of the great white sharks off the South African coast.

    Hi John
    A few years ago now I watched a film on of Orcas attacking seals on a beach, the seals must have thought they where safe about ten or twenty feet up on the beach, The Orcas waited for a big wave,[Just like a surfer] and rode the wave up onto the beach grabbed a seal and went back with the retreating wave. it was so spectacular. The other day fishermen up the coast here took pictures of a great white shark racing in and attacking the rudder on their little tinny, reckon it was a hairy moment.
