    Perhaps you are having trouble understanding the name Killer Whale.

    Not practically dolphins, the ARE dolphins, and the only orcas who have attacked humans are those who were in captivity.

    And a house cat is practically a tiger.

    And your pet dog is practically a wild wolf.

    Don’t swim with killer whales or try to pet bison at Yellowstone.

    It amazes me how many people think that Orcas eat humans even though nowhere in recorded history has this ever happened. They do however have an extremely long history of assisting humans in herding fish into nets just as Dolphins still do today around the world. They have also been known to assist weak swimmers by pushing them to the surface and keeping sharks at bay for hours on end. All dolphins do this and that includes Orcas. Some animal behavioralists believe this is due to a cultural contract adapted by Orcas and Dolphins thousands of years ago that they still adhere to today. Now if only we could remember what it is we did right for this to happen then maybe we would stop putting them into sensory deprivation tanks at Sea World and driving them insane. The best anecdote I ever heard was of the Portuguese fisherman who sacrificed his net to save an Orca calf. The mother watched him cut the calf out and once released she swam up and gently nuzzled him for a moment before swimming off. In my book any animal that can express true appreciation is highly intelligent.

    One time on a boat out in the Salish Sea the boat owner’s dog jumped in to swim with a pod of orcas that was following. They checked the dog out, found that she was not a seal and more or less pushed her back towards the boat and went around us on their way to a shark breakfast in Vancouver Harbour.

    Proper name – orca. To the best of my knowledge, orcas in the wild have never attacked humans. Let me know if I’m wrong.& yes, they are classed as a type of dolphin.

    First thing I did when I saw this comic was to research orca v. human. Wild orcas do not attack people at all. They are considerably safer to be around than dolphins. They do, however attack racing boats, at least they have been lately in the news. It appears that the loud engines are disruptive to them. As far as I can tell, a regular boat just puttering around doesn’t bother them.
