And miss out on kelly brook?

I must be showing my age but I was thinking of the 1970s original

There are no known incidents on any record of Orcas killing humans out in the wild, only about 2 incidents from Orcas in captivity - Which is fair game as such animals should never be in captivity. They just don't care about humans for whatever reason. People have been recorded on video swimming alongside Orcas without issue, not that anyone should obviously.

Do sharks maul? I thought they kinda teared and bit, Mauling i kinda think of a bear....

It was a tiger shark, and those are the worst type of shark as they eat anything if they feel like it, they even eat each other, in the womb..... Guy just ended up on the heads side of the coin flip that day sadly.

The very shark was later captured and literally clubbed to death by locals (there's a video).

I can remember a dodgy TV film where the shark grew legs and chomped everyone. Had nightmares for days.

Moby Dick was based on a true story, a large sperm whale sunk whale-ship Essex in 1819!

Humans are the worst.

I’m struggling to get the video out of my head. I think of it multiple times a day, particularly the absolute fear the guy must have felt. When did he first notice it ect/ did someone tell him that it was coming.

It has to one of the worst experiences a human can have?

 

[wolfie138]

and how do you think the shark felt, being dragged out its home and beaten to death?

yea thats not good, shark was just doing what comes natural. No way should have it been killed.

The ocean is for sealife.

I like to keep my feet firmly on land.

Tiger sharks are the worst for attacks on humans.

You must have read about the USS Indianapolis?

Quint from Jaws was a survivor of the Indianapolis

Isn't there more than that? I know one Orca, killed three people, Tilikum?

Bull sharks are another that spring to mind.

Absolutely awful way to go. RIP.

Only one other captive orca has killed anyone. No attacks in the wild.

I didn't say the wild, he said captive and that's what I was referring to. Tilikum killed 3, and one other Orca killed another. So that's 4 incidents in captivity, not 2.

Apparently there have been quite a few not fatal attacks: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca_attacks

I know. Which is why I provided the bare statement of facts.

I thought the same - I'm sure there were more incidents involving captive orcas.

Incidents were often covered like shark attacks, on the BBC at the time.

Maybe more, I'd only ever read about two, either way, none in the wild which is the main talking point. Keep such creatures in captivity and you deserve what you get so no sympathy from me there.

Not all creatures. Sadly, captivity is vital for some species survival

Such creatures not all creatures! Orcas are not on the brink of extinction, they're an apex predator to a level that even one entering the area of a school of great white sharks, the sharks will vacate.
