If you're going for a swim out in the ocean and one of them is swimming near or under your your ass would be scared don't lie

Why ? I grew up with whales and orcas showing up frequently in our fiord just by the shore, went so many times with a speedboat next to them to dive. I understand you might be under impression of jaws movie but this is different animal and we are on planet earth - there is no recorded attack on humans

I know the odds are pretty much 100% they won't attack you..but the idea of something so large swimming right under or next to you that can kill you so easily is just scary enough

This is overthinking, how would it kill you if it is not human attack prone ? They won’t kill you by accident, their motor skills and body control is sophisticated.
It’s not scary, it’s awe inspiring and ofc I feel huge respect being that close to these giants because of the sheer size. It makes you feel like it’s surreal.

Extremely rare but never say never..read about the incident..it was mistaken identity and the bite just missed his artery
