  • The crew of a 50-foot yacht a few miles from the Strait of Gibraltar say orcas damaged the rudder of their boat and ultimately sank the vessel. The same pod has sunk at least five other boats since 2020. NBC’s Kelly Cobiella reports for TODAY.

It could definitely be either one. I do wonder what would happen if a vessel did punish them for it; like an electrical shock of some sort. Would they get angrier, or would they leave the yachts alone? I wonder if they’re doing this to sailboats as well?

    I hypothesis that this is deliberate. The sonar, depth finding and other high frequency equipment affects the Orcas in a negative way. They don't like it. They also process what they see humans and other mammals/fish are doing. The other thing about Orcas is that they are a "learning" mammals. Meaning they teach each other and their next generation things. Their ability to learn and retain has been well documented for decades.

      ​@@nelsonx5326 Which is why the compromise mentioned in the report sounded to me like a yachting season being suggested. These orcas move around themselves so will hopefully work out over time that the authorities have opened up a quieter time in the area for nature including orcas during one part of the year, while the sailing lanes get busier in another.
      This makes sense to me after visiting Devil's Tower in Wyoming where there's a climbing season for those who want to scramble all over the thing and another when the indigenous can use it for their ceremonies and such when climbing's forbidden for some months. Seems like the best deal that the orcas can really hope for in that section of the Med.

      No. These boats, sailboats, are NOT taking fish. Or only rarely. And in this area NO one is dragging a fishing line.
      Fishing boats are different.
      If the orcas are smart enough to bite off rudders and do other damage to the sailboats, they are smart enough to know the difference between fishing boats and sailboats.
      Sailboats don't travel very fast. Running their engines (engines) may get them to 6 or 7 knots. A fast catamaran or trimaran (a cruiser, not a racer) may get to 10 - 12 knots while sailing. Fishing boats will travel 15 knots and higher.
      These sailboats are being targeted by this ONE pod for some reason. But not for fishing competition.

      "How do we get the humans out of the giant floating can? Hmmm... Rudder damage and hole in giant can. Instant snack." They are literally starving, so they might start eating the next available food source.

      It wasn't a yacht, it was a fishing trawler. The name of the Orca was Gladys. And the reason those Orcas don't mess with trawlers is they are made of metal, and their occupants don't mess around.

    The extremely bright and useful desk anchor asked why this is happening here right after the video said they don’t know exactly why. Reminds me of desk anchors during a vehicle pursuit thinking they have to say random things “boy he’s going fast, they almost hit that car” instead of just letting us watch it in silence. It’s like they’ll feel irrelevant if they don’t say something every five seconds.

      People who seek careers in front of a camera have enormous egos, and if the camera isn't on them then they MUST use their mouth to get attention. Marlon Brando summed it up perfectly .."An actor is a guy who, if you ain't talking about him, he ain't listening." That goes for all of 'em!
