Killer whale pods have been attacking boats in Spain and Portugal since July (Credit: Spanish Ministry of Transport, Mobility, and Urban Agenda)

Killer whales, or orcas, are the largest members of the oceanic dolphin family. While the intelligent mammals, which hunt in large pods, are known for their orchestrated attacks on unsuspecting marine animals, they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal. The unusual hostility is puzzling scientists worldwide.

        I believe that Orcas are mammals. But I hope that the cause of these 'mobs' can be found soon.

          Why are the whales doing this?They are usually pretty peaceful towards humans.I hope that the whales nor the people got hurt,because them ramming into boats could injure them.🤕

          I hope everyone in the boats are ok, because killer whales are dangerous.

            Killer Whales are in fact do not usually pose a threat to humans, but these recent actions are pretty scary.

                  The orcas are so cute. I wonder why they are ramming boats.
