    yep. that was def wolves of the sea.

    and how in norway after theyve driven the shoals of herring into a tighter school up to the surface, they stun them with sharp tail slaps to make it just that much easier to pick them off to eat. mmm seafood.

    Ah! So was it David Attenborough then??

    I wanna know how come I can remember this stuff from ages ago and what happened 3 seconds ago is completely lost to me? :confused::o:D

    I think I vaguely remember that about the tail slaps and the poor little herrings. :)
    NOPE!!!

    All those vids are so cool...

    The orcas around here don't beach themselves at all and I don't think the resident J Pod actually does that anyway. The realtor was just trying to show off his "knowledge". Killer Whales do like to play with their food, though, or just plain play...but when they play with people it's called an "attack", which it isn't.

    Once on the news here in BC (just off Vancouver Island), there were some GreyWhales migrating, and a mother and her baby came up against the side of a fishing boat. The mom put her baby between her and boat, and all of a sudden these HUGE dorsal fins came screaming through the water (looked like sharks they were moving so fast) went under the boat and grabbed the baby whale...So then the mother Grey tried to attack the killer whales while still trying to keep the baby between her and the boat. It did not end well...And all this was captured on video. When I saw it, I was horrified and fascinated at the same time...Orcas gotta eat something...with depleating salmon stocks, which the seals normally eat, there aren't too many seals around (at least here)...so we rarely see whales anymore.

    did you know that each pod of orcas has their own distinct dialect? :)
