It seems that along the Spanish and Portuguese coasts they are having a problem with orcas ramming boats and behaving aggressively.

I personally think they are beautiful, but I've always wondered if there was more to the nickname "killer whale" than we've been led to believe.
Quote:The number of reported incidents involving orcas has risen over the summer, with researchers noting that interactions between the whales and boats are not unusual, but the level of aggression displayed in July and August is "highly unusual."Orcas that the researchers have "known" since they were babies are behaving very strangely, even in one case taking out a fiberglass rudder and in another nearly tipping a boat over.
