Yeah, the 'wolves of the sea.' Magnificent animals. Smart, too. Can kill a Great White shark but won't kill human beings - only injuries on record are from humans being stupid around them and placing themselves in a position to be injured. Orcas will never go out of their way to injure a human who has done no harm to them. Same can't be said of sharks, though they are tragically overestimated as killers. Only 63 people have been killed by Great Whites in history. More that 20,000 people die each year (mostly in Asia) from snakebites.

Anyways, I used to be afraid of "killer" whales for some reason, I guess because of how massive they are, but more and more I admire them. Like polar bears. Both are carnivores and neat to hunt to eat and survive of course, but each only take what they need, unlike us humans, who multiply like locusts and strip the land and seas bare and hoard things we don't even need. We're the real monsters.
