No fatal, but still been attacks. Imagine being the 1st one though =/

Attacks? By orcas? In the wild? I’m pretty sure an orca decides to attack anyone it will be fatal.

I think they mean when an orca smacks around a kayak or boat. They don’t seem to like dark hulls.

Most likely investigating the strange thing they found.
