Re: Humpback Whales are protecting other animals from Killer Whales
Pity some humans don't.
Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: Psalm 144:1
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
-Henry V by William Shakespeare

Re: Humpback Whales are protecting other animals from Killer Whales
My hypothesis is that the humpback whales are running a protection racket: you pay them in krill, they beat the crap out of Orcas. Presumably the great white in the video did not pay the protection money, so the humpbacks just stood by while this happened
Seriously though: it's more likely that the orcas--aggressive as they are--are acting in a manner analogous to humans on land: they're insanely destructive, and may be posing a threat to their persons: they likely figure if they help here, then maybe Willie will starve or be weak, and so won't threaten themselves. Or maybe they think (as I do) that Orcas are of the devil, and so need to be stopped as much as possible, because they are of the devil.

Re: Humpback Whales are protecting other animals from Killer Whales
Aww they just do what they have orca's are incredible creatures. We keep total sociopaths at home, they look so innocent but cats will kill you if they could, they won't help anything, purrfectly equiped to kill everything and they know it
Re: Humpback Whales are protecting other animals from Killer Whales
Cats meow. That's the single biggest evolutionary step they've made since domestication, and one which has led to their phenomenal popularity.
Re: Humpback Whales are protecting other animals from Killer Whales
Not a cat person hmmm, why am I not surprised. Cats are fun animals, you never know what they are up to, they are hilariously odd
Re: Humpback Whales are protecting other animals from Killer Whales
Yeah, if only orcas merely STOPPED at killing things. They don't. Neither do many species of dolphin. Plus they look ridiculous.

Predators don't stop, RU-#M2 the latest model or something? Orca's kill and they are good at it, why stop doing it. They don't look all that rediculous to me, swimming with dolphines fine but orca's are kinda scary, not going to say to them that they look rediculous, I double-dare you to inform them. It will not end well. But go ahead, try it. Hear that sound? That's certain death in water
