"Orcas are adopting terrifying new behaviors. Are they getting smarter?
From sinking boats and feasting on shark livers to dining on whale tongue and tossing porpoises around for fun, orcas are displaying some fascinating — and sometimes terrifying — behaviors.
"These are animals with an incredibly complex and highly evolved brain," Deborah Giles, an orca researcher at the University of Washington and the nonprofit Wild Orca, told Live Science. 'They've got parts of their brain that are associated with memory and emotion that are significantly more developed than even in the human brain.'
But the scale and novelty of recent attacks have raised a question: Are orcas getting smarter? And if so, what's driving this shift?"

Orcas and dolphins form a tactical hunting alliance in the Pacific Northwest – research finds. New underwater footage suggests that Pacific white-sided dolphins help resident killer whales locate and catch Chinook salmon — looking instead for protection against mammal-hunting Bigg’s killer whales.

These #Orcas Are on the Brink—And So Is the #Science That Could Save Them
Southern resident #killerwhales have lived off #PacificNorthwest for 1000s of years. They don’t associate with any of estimated 50,000 other orcas living around the world, even those who share the same home waters. They have their own language, customs and culture, and they are the most studied population of orcas on Earth. Because of human encroachment, they are in trouble.

If you’re of a certain generation, you might be able to trace your affinity for #orcas to repeated viewings of a certain movie: the seminal 1993 film Free Willy.

People already mistake orcas for dolphins, and this doesn't help. 🐋🐬

@HumToTable Just watched 2 documentaries on the capture & display of #Orcas by people/companies who split up Orca families & the in insolation w/o any stimulation in small pens for their profit & the mindless amusement of the public.
I'm not an #AnimalRights advocate but those documentaries are proof enough why Orcas should be left alone to swim free in the wild.

WATCH: incredible drone footage shows orcas and dolphins hunting together for the first time

🐋🐬 A #Dalhousie University study documents potential interspecies cooperation between northern resident killer #whales and #Pacific white-sided #dolphins during #salmon hunting in #BritishColumbia waters.
Using #drones and camera tags, researchers observed killer whales following dolphins' lead to locate Chinook salmon, with the dolphins then sharing pieces of #fish caught by the orcas.

Orcas and dolphins caught on video collaborating to hunt salmon
Orcas listen to dolphin echolocation, dolphins feed on salmon scraps: new study
Longish text piece but worth scrolling down for the video which shows the orcas and dolphins communicating and working together
I loved digging into this one for @livescience.com@bsky.brid.gy. There is video evidence of #dolphins and killer whales hanging out together on hunts. Are they really cooperating, or is something else going on? #science #orcas #killerwhales #behavior #marinelife
