Whale Hunting in the Pacific Ocean
The first hunting season was a banana for the whalers, less so for the whales. Just two years later, whale sightings plummeted by half. And the ones they did find weren't acting the same way as they had during that first brutal season. When the ships first arrived in the northern pacific, the whales clustered together. That's how they typically defend their young, attacking orcas. But with this new preditor, that behaviour just made them easier to find and easier to kill.
