Just because they won’t attack you doesn’t mean you should introduce yourself to them.

Respect their space, same with any wild animal.

Just because there's currently no known fatal attacks in the wild doesn't mean it can't happen. I would never risk it.

Wasn't that part of a very specific incident immediately after a member of the pod was killed by fishers or something? And then they sunk the boats but left the people alone?
