How did they get the nickname "Killer Whale"? I assume it's only one kind of whale (pretty sure Sea World had one in captivity).

Whales are fucking retarded

You're thinking of Orcas. The (((media))) calls them Killer Whales because they're the Aryans of the ocean

Orca's were likely given the name 'Killer Whale' because they're the apex predator of the ocean. They can even kill Great White Sharks.

orcas are sadistic fucks who respect humans as we are the chad land creature and they are the chad sea creature. when the octopi rise from the depths to conquer the world the orcas will be our greatest ally

Trophic levels.
Then the whales shit and die and end up on the sea floor where they sustain entire ecosystems.

Orcas are dolphins, not whales. "Killer whale" is a misnomer.

WHALES vs PLANKTON
ULTIMATE DEATHMATCH

>whales kill the smallest ani.als in the ocean.
Blue whales, and other baleen whales survive by filtering tiny little free swimming crustaceans out of the water by the billions.
Other whales like Sperm whales are badass hunters that dive down deeper than military subs to do battle with giant squid in the darkness before returning to the surface hours later for another breath.
Killer whales/Orcas are the biggest member of the dolphin family. Incredibly smart predators that develop independent hunting methods for the environment and the prey, like those killer whales that figured out how to hydroplane through shallow water at high tide to nab seals off the beach who thought they were safe.

The key thing is that they're so social and do the wolf pack thing. They basically came from wolves with hooves like all whales but for some reason they never got away from that.

To even glimpse that cadaverous whiteness breaching from the blue black sea was a glimpse at something beyond. Something so much larger and indifferent to a puny human being, and you're on a ship being driven by a madman who's obsessed with inciting vengeance on a force of nature.

Is a seal is hiding on an ice floe, a squad of them will swim in a line and dunk their tails downward very hard, creating a large ripple/wave under the ice, which tips it up on its side and dumps the seal into the water. Then they rip the poor fucker apart.

Orcas are pretty amazing. Seen them a bunch of times in the wild, in Alaska. They're massive, we cruised past a pod on a glacier cruise. the bull was bigger than the boat. It was like a bus sized fish.

They're pretty intelligent, so they only come nosing around if you're making noises like a seal, which they do eat. The boat captains said the biggest danger of being in the water with them, is being crushed, because they're so big.

After seeing them in the wild, you see how fucking cruel it is to put them in small tanks, doing tricks for fat boomers stuffing their fat asses with fructose syrup and cornmeal.

It has been described as the "world's loneliest whale".

>The killers of Eden or Twofold Bay killers were a group of killer whales (Orcinus orca) known for their co-operation with human hunters of cetacean species. They were seen near the port of Eden in southeastern Australia between 1840 and 1930. A pod of killer whales, which included amongst its members a distinctive male called Old Tom, would assist whalers in hunting baleen whales. The killer whales would find target whales, shepherd them into Twofold Bay, and then alert the whalers to their presence and often help to kill the whales
>In return for their help, the whalers would anchor the carcass overnight or leave it hitched to the boat while the killer whales ate the tongue and lips of the whale, then haul it ashore. The arrangement is a rare example of mutualism between humans and killer whales. The arrangement was called "the law of the tongue". The killer whales would also feed on the many fish and birds that would show up to pick at the smaller scraps and runoff from the fishing.
>In around 1923, retired pastoralist John Logan and third-generation whaler George Davidson went fishing on White Heather, Logan's motorised yacht, with Logan's daughter Margaret Brooks. Old Tom forced a small whale to the surface, where Davidson harpooned it. Because he wanted to get off the water before a storm arrived, Logan attempted to bring the carcass ashore without Old Tom eating the tongue and lips.[9] Old Tom apparently grabbed the tow rope in his mouth and lost some teeth in the struggle, with Brooks recounting that Logan said "Oh God, what have I done?" when he realized that Old Tom had lost teeth.

what happens when they dive down to hunt squid for like 3 hours? dolphinbro can't hold his breath that long

It's called a sperm whale because that giant melon is full of a white oily substance known as spermaceti that had all kinds of applications. In consumer goods and industrial applications, beyond using whale oil for lighting civilization.

Why are animal threads so good on Yea Forums? So much better than /an/.

knowledge of good, and evil.
There is literally no reason to think that other than wishful thinking.

how does the whale not gulp down a few birds everyday

HE TRIED TO KILL HIM

HE FUCKING TRIED TO STAB HIM WHILE HE WASN"T LOOKING

>intelligence is suppose to do the opposite
>suppose to give you a sense of empathy and understanding
Yeah if you're a tiny little omniverous tree-rat then being social and empathetic can help.
When you're alpha chad apex predator of the deep dark ocean you don't have time for that kind of sentimentalism.

thats adorable

10/10 would pet on the snout

Reminder: Sperm whales can cook you inside out with sound vibrations just by "talking" to you. They know this too and try to "click" as quietly as they can when around divers.

I have no idea what he is saying but he is clearly based as fuck.

cant a lot of animals in the ocean deafen you with their calls?

Wait until you see the names of Australian animals

whales are dumb

When I first read it I remembered this chapter. Later I found out that I'm not the only one whether positively or negatively but others also noticed this. It's a perfect meditation about something as simple as color.

>sperm whale
>isn't microscopic

krill detected

Yes, but sperm whales especially. Their clicks(230 dB.) have more decibels than a blue whale's(188 dB) and a shuttle launch (max 160 dB). They can very easily talk you to death.

>230
holy fuck

orcas are not even whales.

They're not the largest but the way they look makes them seem so impressive that they might as well be. What an intimidating creature.

A jet engine at take off produces about 150 decibels

It's speculated that when they're on a deep dive to find some squid they blast them with a high intensity click right before they strike to not only do a final range check but to stun them
It's the largest predator.

one click, vasili

How does a Crab produce this?

Pearl was adopted.

Not nearly as much as she'd bring in come tax time.

>Do you think sperm whales ever drown? Free diving gone wrong?
Not really. Their dives are always for the same amount of time, like clockwork. You can even identify a sperm whale by timing how long it stay under, and how many times it spouts between dives, and the shape of the spout.
When they sleep they float vertically in the ocean and wake up to bob to the surface, take a breath, and go back to sleep.

based showoff whale

>people hunted these things in wooden rowboats with nothing but pointy toothpicks and giant nuts

Is this the work of The Architect?

There's a depth region of the ocean where sound travels really well over hundreds to thousands of miles. Whales, dolphins and other animals use it for high frequency trans-oceanic shitposting.

sperm whales tho. and no, your babies getting eaten occasionally doesnt mean you're not an apex predator

>It's the largest predator.
Hunting krill is still hunting.

I just don't like being near anything non-human while in the water, so just putting a whale near someone gives me anxiety

>what is Moby Dick

I think you mean Jonas' bros and the whale

This is about as redpilled and based as a post can get

>They just like having fun and have been known to save humans and they won't emit their full sonic when humans are near because they know it would shatter the human internal organs. That's pretty based of them.
What? Is that real? Do these things have fucking super powers?

lmao

Because it understands that it can alleviate suffering and make existence better for everything

Dolphin family emit high frequency sound clicks and use sonar to navigate the ocean and find prey. These sound waves travel fast through the water and have the potential to harm humans.

Truly magnificent creatures

Reminder that it actually happened and that the real story is just as insane but with a survivalist adventure tone instead of an existential horror one. Read on it it's insane, the movie is family friendly bullshit in comparison. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essex_(whaleship)

Insane , this must be the most fascinating animals on the planet
