A tourist yacht was struck and sunk by orcas on September 13, 2025 (Credit: oceaniclounge/ Instagram)

Since 2020, young Iberian orcas from a critically endangered subpopulation of fewer than 40 individuals have been ramming, and even sinking boats in the Atlantic Ocean. These incidents typically occur off the coasts of Spain, Portugal, and France during spring and summer. This is when the killer whales migrate to the area in search of food.

        well its not as easy as you think some materials that are stronger than others and some are lighter and heavier if the boat is to heavy than it won't float current boats are made out of fiberglass, wood, aluminum, and steel and you could use materials like carbon fiber and Kevlar for high strength-to-weight ratios, or traditional materials like steel, aluminum, and wood epoxy fiberglass but it would only make the boat a little bit stronger and it would make the boat heavier and on top of that it would cost more to make and it would be harder to manufacture a boat with all of those materials.

          We are always underestimating the intelligence of animals.

                        it's possible that humans should build more durable boats
