Can confirm. Divers freak out, though I don’t understand why.
But the orca is fake. 100% never been eaten by one.
Orcas will also jump on the beach to catch a moose and then squirm back into the water
wut
Yeah, being on the beach doesn’t automatically make you safe from orcas. I’m personally very grateful that we apparently aren’t as delicious as moose.
And they love shark liver. It’s a really good thing we don’t taste like shark liver.

Dolphins are known to be assholes, and Orcas are really big dolphins. That beach dive move is like swerving to hit an animal in the grass/sidewalk on the side of the road.
I think the swerve maneuver is a little better when you plan to eat the roadkill and are an obligate carnivore.
Some populations of orcas know how to hunt in land. Yep. That exactly.
It’s something they learn and teach each other.
The most famous of those groups lives far away from any moose. But I don’t know if there’s any small group near them.
“Orca whale” is a misnomer. Same with Killer whale. They are not whales. The nickname is a mistranslation of whale killer because Orcas kill whales.
Orcas are in the dolphin family which is a branch of the whale family, specifically those with teeth rather than baleen. Compare how humans are in the ape family which is a branch of the primate family, specifically those that are less arboreal and lack tails. If we can say humans are primates, we can definitely say that orcas are whales.
Aren’t they porpoises? I mean, I think they’re related to dolphins.
Google says they’re neither, so I’ve edited the above fyi. Thanks!
Orcas are actually moose. You see there are 2 sexes in the Meese family. The Male have legs and horns and truck around on land, the Women have flippers and swim around the ocean. Moose all have 1 thing in common, it’s a fetish for being eaten. The Orcas eat the Moose, consuming their sperm and it gets pushed out towards the egg prior to working it’s way out of the esophagus into to the stomach.
/The f did I just write
I’m yet to see a convincing, authoritative historical source on the “whale killer” factoid. Follow the trail on asesina-ballenas and Basque fishermen and you get nowhere.
Yeah, I would probably piss my wetsuit lol
That’s ok, everyone else does that anyway :)
Keeps the sharks away. Not sure about the moose, though.
Wait, really? I’d never heard that one before.
It was a myth growing up. Blood attracts sharks, but piss will keep them away.
So don’t try this at home… primarily because you probably don’t have shark at home.
I watched Crocodile Dundee growing up so I keep sharks away with dynamite
The only surfing I do is on concrete though, so that really makes the whole affair hard to understand for local authorities.
Now though, they’re just like, “Oh yeah, dynamite guy. Yeah, don’t worry about it, it’s just for sharks, You’re fine…”
I don’t know why anyone would dive where Orca swim. Not because of the Orcas, but because the water is cold and the only thing to see is sea weed.
I can’t believe they’ve added a third giant moose boss in Elden Ring, and this time he’s underwater
I’ve seen moose and bears crossing ocean channels. Both are adept swimmers. Wouldn’t be surprised by the orcas eating them part.
Now moose diving? That’s new to me… 😳
