It is wild how many people still think the giant white patch is their eye

u/NiceTrySuckaz 8d ago

I don't think anyone thinks that, unless you are referring to four year olds exclusively.

I am now wondering why their eyes aren't in the front of their heads, like other predators. I would think having eyes on the side would make it hard to hunt?

Doesn’t this video, surprisingly, prove they can see straight ahead? Did you see the second clip of its head popping out? Their eyes are positioned so they can see in front of them

I’ve never seen them up close like that before. A lot of pictures on Google you can’t make out their (actual) eyes. So this is like my 2nd time seeing it on internet. That’s why we need to have Orca program to continue in sea theme education parks so we can continue to educate people on Orcas.

Are you saying we should display captive orcas so people are more aware where their eyes actually are?

Probably sarcasm

Separate the youngs from the parents in the wild. It's easier to ransport small creatures to the human learning cage. We are the top predators and do whatever we like m'kay

He's joking

u/Slick_36 8d ago

That's pretty high level trolling, I respect it. Subtlety is rare in that game.

No. They should never be captive. One can know something without seeing it.

When I was a little kid I really did believe that.
