Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) I remember seeing Billie Eilish on Colbert saying how she thought whales were the scariest animal to her, and I remember thinking like "is she nuts? Whales aren't that scary." Now I'm not so sure, LOL. It's actually physically impossible though for a humpback to totally swallow a human cuz their throats are about the size of a human fist. Only just learned about that upon reading about this story though, and I can't imagine there's many people out there who know that, so easy to see why this guy would think he was about to be the whale's lunch there.

katt_goddess Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I think the possibility of drowning from an encounter like this is a bigger factor than being officially swallowed. But it was still definitely something to see caught on tape. Most of the time it's just people getting punted into the water when a whale surfaces under them.

Jman Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Whales are designed to eat a lot of small things, rather than big ones. Still, I don’t think he wanted to be Jonah. One hell of a story for the bar though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André Toulon Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 New fear unlocked....whale coming up out of my toilet and swallowing me. I had heard that a whale can't swallow a human but I never looked into it because why....I ain't going out there. Mfers love to talk about going on cruises, but you'll catch me jumping out of a plane first. The fear of water that Louisiana can instill in you is real. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I'm a land locked mf sometimes.. Yachts. I'm thinking its their smell. Something that rich people are unloading out of their big boat waste receptacles directly into the ocean is drawing orcas to just beat the shit out of them. They aren't going after the little working boats and you know those guys also have to poop in the sea too. The kitten misses the litter box because she's sick, I clean it up, give her a lecture while doing so and then make sure she has extra water with an ice cube and maybe a very small piece of cheese because it's not her fault [ well, it is because she keeps chewing on the poison plants but that's beside the point ]. You come into my home and shit on the floor, I'm going to power slam your face into the mess and keep rubbing until I hit bone. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I posted this vid this dude was genuinely kind of shaken up , but also kind of excited when one made his boat do a 180. He seems more like an adventurer than anything and I love how calm and cool he was about the orca playing with his vessel. I made a whole thread about orcas even breaking off and stealing rudders like a trophy one time. I think this was the vid.

No! https://newatlas.com/biology/orcas-killer-whales-boats/ If this article is true, it's conservation working.

My best friend's family grew up at 29 palms He always joked about his brother crying when they took their fishing boat out and saw a whale so they tried to get a little closer. Then I visited boston and took a duck tour with my brother and our friend to see whales, never again. They're majestic and all, but it's also terrifying being next to an animal that is so much larger than you. It also didn't help the water was just dark. It looked nothing like the ocean on tv or movies, more like one of the murky man made lakes we have here. I'm assuming that due to the high amount of boat traffic, but then why would whales hangout there? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[classic swim] Posted Sunday at 06:10 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:10 PM Eating shark at least once sounded cool until discovering their skin’s made of teeth structures and they’re a mercury meal ticket. It was nicer only knowing before that they could bite my fucking arm off. Gotta use my imagination to pretend a single serving plate from an 80,000 pound whale would be a little different.

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted Monday at 05:11 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 05:11 PM 11 hours ago, molarbear said: They're mammals If they smelled underwater they would drown Actually, I was curious about this, so did some checking and seems some mammals can smell underwater. Star-nosed moles and water shrews. They accomplish the feat by basically blowing bubbles out their nostrils and sucking it back in right away. It's also now believed baleen whales, which includes humpbacks, may use their sense of smell to help them locate food by detecting the gas dimethyl sulfide that's released by phytoplankton. To do so they have to come to the surface though, unlike the moles and water shrews. Toothed whales, like the orca, it seems however don't have the olfactory organs or brain lobe for smelling, so sad to say after all looks like the theory of them being attracted to the yachts' smell is in fact, pardon the pun, dead in the water. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what if orcas have a form of synesthesia that we haven't been able to pinpoint yet? They might taste smells. I'm being obnoxious at this point because I don't really care so long as they terrorize rich assholes. But it's still a thought. Synesthesia can be a real trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can echolocate. They have their own sonar of sorts. I though they might have evolved a way to smell underwater myself, but apparently they don't use smell after doing some research. I found basically the same answers you did so no need to post all that I guess.. It may be interesting to post how orca do track their prey however. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted Tuesday at 09:20 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:20 PM That vid was so pointless I think. Killer whale communication is supposedly super interesting though. Their brains are wired to have a large emotional function. They carry their deceased in some kind of funeral procession ritual among other things. Orcas are super interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted Wednesday at 01:31 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:31 AM I wonder, if/when AI enables us to communicate with the orca someday, what will be the first thing they end up telling us. Probably something like "stop throwing all your trash in our home!" Heh, that's interesting that they've discovered that different groups of them have developed their own distinct dialects. Even if we could talk with them, not really sure what there is we could tell them though, given we live worlds apart. We probably have a lot more to learn from them than they do from us when it comes to the oceans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
