Orcas ripped the rudders off of a yacht in the latest example of an assault on ships by killer whales in the Strait of Gibraltar. #orca #killerwhale #orcas #whitegladis #yacht | A pod of orca whales surrounded the yacht of British sailor Ian Hamilton while he was sailing in the Strait of Gibraltar, ramming the boat and tearing off both rudders. | There have been 20 incidents of killer whales attacking ships in the Strait of Gibraltar, a passage that connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean, in the past month alone. | “We had no mechanism of steering the boat and the whales were in charge of the boat and they pushed us around like a rag doll,” Hamilton told BBC Radio 4. | Scientists believe that a traumatised orca named White Gladis taught the behaviour to other whales as a defence mechanism after a “critical moment of agony” like being struck by a ship or harmed by a fishing operation. | Orcas Are Still Attacking Boats, and Tossed a Yacht Around “Like a Rag Doll”

“There is no humane way to kill a whale at sea. This new evidence underscores how outdated this practice is. It has to end immediately – no one in Iceland is dependent on this meat,” said Patrick Ramage, senior director at the International Fund for Animal Welfare #Whales #Iceland 📽️: @heimildin
✋ 🐋 That's be one beach sand exfoliation treatment please #humpbackwhales #whales #environment #ocean #australia | These whales are rolling to exfoliate their skin at an underwater 'day spa' off Australia's Gold Coast. | Researchers also believe the humpbacks use these 'spa days' to socialise with each other. | as well as picking the old skin off the whales themselves. | The cameras also caught fish feeding on the exfoliated skin floating in the water, | Here, they perform acrobatic rolls on the sandy seabed to scratch off itchy skin and remove parasites. | The researchers used video-equipped sensors stuck to the whales' backs. | returning to their favourite spot in the ocean off the coast of Queensland. | Researchers have tracked a group of humpback whales during two migration seasons

When reading a book on Norse mythology, the maritime archaeologist Dr John McCarthy spotted similarities between a supposedly mythical sea monster known as a hafgufa and an unusual whale feeding technique first officially documented by scientists in the 2010s. McCarthy and other researchers at Flinders University, Australia, went on to identify striking parallels between tread-water feeding and the behaviours of sea creatures described in several thousand-year-old manuscripts, including one dating to ancient Greece.

More than 200 #whales have been found stranded in Australia on the western shore of Tasmania — and early reports estimate that about half of the animals are alive, wildlife officials said. Link in bio to learn more. #news #cnn #fyp
