Orcas attacking boats: A coordinated trend

Over the past few years, there has been an increase in reports of orcas attacking and even sinking boats off the coast of Spain and Portugal. These encounters have shown a pattern of orcas targeting boat rudders, making it difficult to steer and potentially stranding boats. The trend may have started with one specific orca, named White Gladys, who suffered a traumatic injury from a boat and may be teaching other orcas to attack boats as well. While some people speculate that these attacks are revenge or have a deeper meaning, whale biologist Hal Whitehead suggests that the orcas are likely just playing games and enjoying the interactions.
