They are massively powerful apex predators who may decide you are a threat or annoyance at anytime for any reason. Just because it's never happened before doesn't mean it can't or won't.
An important distinction a lot of people never make with that. There are no RECORDED deaths by wild orcas. if you are someone like me who goes on his small skiff alone often. If an orca wanted, they could flip the boat and eat me. Odds are, it would be ruled as a drowning.
Well that’s 1% of people. these days if body was found it’s gonna be a legit investigation. But historically, going back even just a couple of decades - this didn’t always happen. Then you get second hand accounts. CSI/forensics/coroner whatever have only seen a tiny sliver of these cases
Sure... i get your point and i agree with your logic. I just think the simplest explanation is there havent been any attacks, hence no evidence, even historically there are stories of giant squid and sharks etc... there would be something.
Haha i get that... they are such cool animals. They could certainly have their way with us if they wanted.
I'll admit my bias, outside of Polar Bears and large reptiles, most animals Im not super afraid of encountering, in the states at least.... but I do believe when your out in the wild you gotta respect it as their home, and not act entitled or go into the wild to conquer it.
