'Rogue Orcas'... are killer whales targeting small sailing yachts and fishing boats? (Page 1/1)

The coronavirus, murder hornets... aren't there reports of a jellyfish "explosion"?... but here's something else to think about.

"Have rogue orcas really been attacking boats in the Atlantic?"

Victoria Gill (how's that for a last name in this context?) reports for BBC News.

quote
In the past six months there have been at least 40 reported incidents involving orcas off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.



I'm not going to Read-o-Meter it, but it's a longish report. Magazine article length. With a "serious" level of imagery--GIFs, photos and diagrams. If anyone is "into" orcas, this is a "must read."

The orcas here in the great Pacific Northwest continue to be laid-back. Must be the potent seagrass we have in this region.

When you are a BBC writer under extreme pressure for a "news" story, just use an old 1977 movie plot as your inspiration and VOILA! another paycheck in the mail.
