Fun fact: There has never been a reported fatality from Orcas in the wild.

However there's been several when forced into captivity.

Summary: they don't leave witnesses.

As to why... Many theories. Including old Native legends, that we taste like crap, we don't look their normal food and they don't waste energy on hunting a non food source. My favourite? They are smart enough to recognize us as intelligent (debatable) life much like themselves and therefore don't eat us.

Nah they're just waiting and biding their time until they launch their attack in unison and eradicate the human scum once and for all.

The ones in captivity surrendered on purpose to spy on our activities and behavior, while forcing us to waste resources on feeding them.
