Orcas attacking boats off Gibraltar

[UKSmartypants]

Apparently there's a shoal of Orca Whales have taken to attacking small boats off the Straits of Gibraltar. Theres been more than 20 attacks recently. This is a recent account, a boat was attacked for more than six hours by a large shoal, battering the boat till the hull was letting in water, and destroying the rudder.

This is weird stuff, is this a change in Orca behaviour, or is this just a pack of rogue animals.

Orcas also have been attacking sharks .. taking the livers and discarding the bodies.

Maybe Nature has finally had its fill of the human species?

Orcas just want to have fun, but a 308 to the melon would stop it in a heart beat. Sailing without one is not very bright.

And we all thought in the 1970s that it would be the rise of the apes; instead, it's the orcas!

Makes we wonder what's in it for the other whales? Other than a headache
