The whales are revolting against humanity and tbh i love that for them

They're either playing, or there's a specially aggressively protective female with kids in the area.

I was just reading about this this morning, I thought it was a myth, but four attacks in two years off Spain...bit of an issue since I want to sail my old girl down that way eventually 😆🤞⛵

Nope. This is from this morning off the coast of Tarifa. Sorry for the shit quality. https://video.nostr.build/e920b765330286d992dca1332c33ee9ec2a715d421104ee6e78f804bd191159e.mp4

Wild - I don't fancy the scientists potential explanations either way, whether it's play or territorial behaviour.. I'm not sure which would worry me more

Well some say it's because for a couple of years during the pandemic traffic decreased greatly and the orcas are protesting the new normal. I think there may be something to that hypothesis, and I would add that it could be exacerbated if as happened with humans that couple of years saw an increase in new births.
