Orcas Targeting Boats in Iberian Peninsula Might Be Practising Hunting Techniques
Recent research suggests that orcas in the Iberian Peninsula may be using yachts as practice targets rather than simply attacking for revenge or play. This theory proposes that young orcas are practising their hunting techniques on sailboats, particularly targeting the rudders. Since 2020, there have been numerous reports of orcas ramming and damaging boats, and scientists now believe this behaviour might help them refine their skills for hunting Atlantic bluefin tuna. http://dlvr.it/TCz4c8
