    Saturday afternoon on our small boat (and in the water around it) in Norwegian sea.
    Unforgettable day, spending hours with this group, watching their cooperation by hunt for herrings and social behaviour after.
    After feeding Killer Whales become as curios as we were. They swam close to the our boat, to Janka /snorkelling girl with orange strap on mask/. They came so close, stop and watch each other try to understand. Checking from under and above with spy hops, sending love... See how long is the Orca stopped in front of the girl. They tried to communicate watching each other eyes...
    Breathtaking moments!

    I had an experience 4 yrs ago in Santa Barbara while paddleboarding with friends. A female orca came up from nowhere. It kind of frightened us. We calmly sat down on our boards. She was as inquisitive about us as we were her. She went around to all of us nudging our feet which were dangling over the sides of our boards. Little did we know she had more surprises for us as she knew it was safe she let her baby come up from below her to explore us as well. Letting it know that we were safe. They stayed for 20-30 mins. And after one last side roll glance they swam off. A day I will never forget. They are one of my favorites. Offends me when ppl call them "Killer Whales" and paint them in a bad light. They are so intelligent & curious. I hope to see them again. 🐬💖

    The pods tail slapping here is group communication dynamics. In this case the tail slapping is a friendly and playful display, essentially the group is saying “ Hey guys check out this thing! Never saw one before!”Interesting how the juvenile orca jumps right in and the mother yells at him to stop. Common behaviour exhibited in humans. Also, the sound that echoes after a tail slap can be very loud especially when the water is calm and there is nobody else in the same vicinity except for the boat that you are on. Orcas have unique dialects native to their tribe and geographic location.

      IN THE USA A DOG KILLED A 4 Y O GIRL. THE PARENTS HAD TWO DOGS. A THIRD DOG IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD JOINED THEM AND KILLED THE GIRL. WHY THE OTHER DOGS DID NOTHING?
      IN BRASIL MANY STORIES OF DOMESTIC DOGS KILLING ESPECIALLY KIDS. THEY RECOMEND NEVER LEAVE THE SIBERIAN RUSKY DOG ALONE WITH THE KIDS AND CATS.....
      I HAD MYSELF TWO PODDLES. WHEN KID.
      NEVER LIKED ANYONE.
      THEY JUST BARK BARK AND IRRITATED ME. MY MUM GAVE ONE OF THEM TO SOMEONE ELSE AS THE OTHER STUPID POODLE DIED OF SNIFFING POISON.
      MOST OF MY FRIENDS HAD DOGS
      ONE OF MY ITALIAN FRIENDS HAD A MEDIUM SIZE DOG WITH V V SHORT HAIR (HATE HAIRY DOGS THEY SMELL....)
      I USED TO CARESS THAT DOG S HEAD A LOT.
      ONE DAY OUT OF THE BLUE I WAS GONNA CARESS HIM AGAIN BUT THE DOG SHOWED ME HIS TEETH AND WAS GONNA CHARGE. MY FRIEND STOPPED HIM.

    So many mentions of the word "animals" it almost makes my head-spin.......Orcas are beautiful, sophisticated, family bonding (there's no orca divorce or disliked members of families), they live in absolute harmony with their enviroment and never produce more then they use, we as humans enter any enviroment and we immediately develop and change it to suit us and produce most of the "extra" contamenants, poisons, chemicals, medicines, plastics, etc that exist here on Earth today.......Orcas are to be admired, and even inspire you to be a better "animal" yourself. We are the animals without a doubt if compared to them in anyway (but we like to think a simple opposable thumb that allows us to build as we do and create, somehow translates to us being very intelligent.......don't know about you but we don't usually let our thumbs make any decisions for us humans and the crappy stuff we do to other types of life.......Orcas are .....the animals LOL oh the irony (Like the POD calling the Killer Whale Black lol)

I hope none comes to capture them to bring them to Sea World, Norway would sue them for damn shit if they would remove one of them here. That happened in Blackfish docu when they came to Island to capture them but here they try, they will get their ass kicked to take one of those to Sea World!! And Sea World should dear to try or else the Vikings spirit comes out of the Norwegian peoples and it wont been fun for them to try to capture them. Cause by then there wouldn't know if there are females or males by that time as they would get beated up by the viking spirits in the Norwegians peoples.
