Status Updates From Of Orcas and Men: What Kill...

This is making me wanna move to seattle BAD 😆

Fun fact: the words “orca” and “orc” share the same root Latin origin. Orca orcinus’ name roughly translates to “demon from hell” 😆 😆

Wow learned 3 cool things in 5 pages:
1. Orca culture revolves around food bc they have less blubber
2. “Orcas’ behavior is almost totally governed by cultural conditions and hardly at all by what we were taught in school about instincts and stimulus response and animal behavior in general”
3. No signs of internal strife in orca cultures - No signs of discipline or jousting for position within the hierarchies!

I have a newfound passion for orcas and true unadulterated loathing for seaworld

my whole life is about orcas right now

“Home, for these whales, is not a place. Their home is each other.” 😭

I picked this up hoping to learn Orca 101 and to find some resources for the topics I wanted to dig deeper on. That’s already majorly paid off!! Maybe I should be an odondocete neuroscientist in my next life 😆
