Scientists left baffled by reports of orca 'attacks,' call reports 'highly unusual'

[hounddoghowlie]

The coastal pods tend to eat smaller critters like seals etc etc even Dolphins but the deep ocean pods will eat anything they can kill.

I'd never heard of orcas called "deep ocean pods" before.  I'll have to look that up later.  Thank you!!

When I was living in Hawaii I went out on a 'blue water' dive.  I thought, "This ain't gonna be interesting at all."  But, I saw a 'school' of sharks out there that were the biggest/longest things I had ever see in the water (next to an attack sub coming out of Pearl).  One of two times I was 'really' scared in the water.

Know what I won't turn my back on out there?  Frikkin' turtles!!  Those suckers get BIG too.

2 rules for swimming in shark or killer whale infested waters,

1. always use the buddy system
2. if shark or whale attack, push your buddy in front of you
