You might have looked at your cat and worried that they were plotting a petty attack against you because of a missed meal. Sure, there have been plenty of studies that went into the intelligence of animals, but how deep can this intelligence go? And with higher-intelligence animals, is revenge against humans something we should worry about? This is an orca. Orcas are also known as killer whales. Their appearance may not match up with such a harsh name, but some of their recent behaviors can prove this animal is a brute. Before we get into that, let’s first look into how orcas got their nickname. A pod of orcas can cover 160 kilometers, which is about 99 miles, in a day. Throughout their travels they socialize and forage for food. They are basically a traveling community. Ancient sailors used to observe orcas swimming around and attacking larger whales, hence the name “killer whale”. The name is a bit misleading because orcas are actually dolphins. But they are the biggest kind of dolphin, so assuming they are a whale is an honest mistake. If you grew up visiting aquariums or watching those cute dolphin movies, you may be familiar with the intelligence dolphins have. This kind of intelligence allows for excellent communication. Some dolphins have even been observed giving each other distinct names (spoken with their squeaky whistles, of course). Now with all of this communication, what do orcas talk about? Well, lately orcas have been teaching each other how to seek revenge! Starting in 2020, reports have been made of orcas sinking ships in European waters. Experts believe this all started when a female orca was struck by a boat during an illegal fishing mission. Since then, orcas seem to have ramped up their aggression and have targeted hundreds of boats. One report even stated that two small orcas attacked a boat after watching a larger orca do the same thing. This isn’t the first time animals have sought revenge on humans. After all, humans do tend to destroy habitats, which is eventually going to lead to some hefty consequences. In 2021, it was reported that a group of elephant poachers were spotted by an angry elephant. One of the illegal poachers was trampled by the elephant. Elephants have amazing long-term memories. They are able to maintain a childhood memory for their entire life. That means an elephant will never forget the pain humans have put them through. This may be the reason for the rise of elephant attacks due to humans encroaching on their territory. Humans and animals obviously have different thought processes. Humans don’t merely think only of survival. Our privilege comes with the ability to seek out leisure and entertainment. That means animals seeking out revenge come from their survival instincts. Animals, mainly predators, won’t initiate contact unless it is of high importance since they would much rather save their energy for a beneficial hunt. But since humans have started threatening that survival, animals sometimes have no choice but to protect their communities. Humans tend to protect communities with defenses. Preparations are put into place to prevent outside forces from harming their livelihood. Look at a standard suburb. There are fences put up around all the yards to protect the back and sometimes front of the house. Animals will use force to protect. Some animals may have physical barriers they can put up, but a lot of apex predators do not. Now let’s delve into a story about an octopus that knows what he likes and dislikes. There was an octopus named Truman that lived in an aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts. This octopus seemed to really dislike one of the volunteers that worked here. Every time she passed by, Truman would shoot a stream of water at her. It could easily pass as a silly thing that Truman did, but he only ever did it to her. She left for college and Truman stopped shooting streams of water. But remember that octopuses have a great memory, so when this particular volunteer visited the aquarium a few months later, Truman recognized her face and shot that familiar stream of water at her once again. This octopus story isn’t particularly violent. Truman the octopus didn’t jump out of the water and latch onto this volunteer, but it was an attack nonetheless. And a targeted one at that! He knew exactly who he wanted to shoot the water at and he executed it every chance he got. 🔥 For the best top 10 wildlife and wild animals content around, check out some of our other content relating to predators and prey on our channel pet spot null #wildanimals #animals #petspot
