Schwertwale versenken ein weiteres Boot vor der Küste Spaniens – warum tun sie das nach sechs Jahren immer noch? Eine kleine, vom Aussterben bedrohte Gruppe Orcas vor Spanien und Portugal hat seit 2020 mindestens acht Boote versenkt, und allen Spekulationen zum Trotz hat die wahre Erklärung möglicherweise nichts mit Rache zu tun

    1. “The family-like cluster is thought to be led by a female known as [White Gladis](https://www.livescience.com/animals/orcas/white-gladis-the-orca-may-have-been-pregnant-when-she-started-attacking-boats). That name comes from **an early theory researchers themselves once floated: that** ***White Gladis suffered some kind of traumatic run-in with a boat and that the encounter flipped a behavioral switch, with her being the first in the group to start ramming rudders.”*** *[emphasis mine]*

      “Alfredo López Fernandez, a biologist with the Atlantic Orca Working Group, [told Live Science in 2023](https://www.livescience.com/animals/orcas/orcas-have-sunk-3-boats-in-europe-and-appear-to-be-teaching-others-to-do-the-same-but-why) that this kind of defensive, trauma-driven origin was gaining traction among researchers at the time. But „defensive“ isn’t „vengeful“ — and the idea has since curdled online into a punchier revenge story most scientists studying the population [don’t endorse](https://www.livescience.com/animals/orcas/orcas-have-sunk-3-boats-in-europe-and-appear-to-be-teaching-others-to-do-the-same-but-why).”

      Its going to be due to migrant boats.

      If they sink a migrant boat and 100 people fall off, thats a nice buffet for them.

      Can we teach them to just target the really expensive yachts? Could redistribute a lot of wealth if they just targeted billionaires.

      „Revenge“ lol. Might be suprising but real life isn’t a hollywood movie.

    6. I saw there was a theory that the young males do this now for fun. I forget where I read it.

      Animals start fucking our shit up.

      Everyone immediately assumes it’s revenge.

      I like how every once in a while the vail slips off the narrative, and they unintentionally admit everyone thinks everything we’re doing is awful.
