Killer
Whale Attacks on Humans - Orca Attacks
Pilot Whales Responsible for
More Attacks
Unlike the Sea World Attack, Killer
Whale Attacks on Humans are extremely rare. As mentioned
in our previous article on “Killer
Whales”,
these animals do not deserve their name of Killer. These
Orca Attacks on humans in the wild are virtually
unheard of! In fact, the much smaller “Pilot Whale”,
has been responsible for more attacks on humans than the Killer
Whale.
The so-called “Killer
Whale Attack On A Human” that recently took place was
technically not even a “real” attack. For those of
us that are privileged to work with exotic animals in captivity,
we clearly see the situation as the whale’s confusion on
the appropriate behavior to use. This was clearly not a deliberate
attack on the
trainer. If it was a true Killer Whale Attack, rest assured, the
trainer would have been killed or hurt. Remember, Killer Whales
are actually dolphins and not true whales. They were given the
name “Killer Whale” because they frequently hunt and
feed upon other cetaceans.
