First
We’re all gonna die.
…S**t.
Well, at leasts beats an alpacalypse.
Or an apocalypse caused by some evil scientist forgetting that division by zero is NEVER a good idea.
Am I the only one who saw Orca? That was WAY scarier than Jaws. THERE WAS AN ORCA ABORTION.
uh yeah thats why that orca was so pissed… id be pissed too if they strung my aborted baby orca out in front of a boat.
I KNOW RIGHT?!
But seriously, that movie freaked me out.
The one saving grace of Orcas: They hate sharks as much as humans do, so when the Flying Sharks come, humanity will have allies. (Except for Japan, of course — once more, they will learn what happens when you mistreat those who are far more powerful than yourself.)
at least they’re cute
Yeah, that cuteness is gonna leap 15 feet outta the water and bite you in half!!!
Small (regular?) dolphins will also beach themselves to hunt prey, but they won’t eat you, so I guess it’s not quite so scary.
Yet most dolphins are rapists, and there are more dolphin attacks per year than shark attacks (if I’m remembering correctly)
I wouldn’t be surprised if that were true. If only because people like dolphins (unless they have had a bad experience or something) but most people try to avoid sharks.
Giant Killer Orcas. Crawling on land to catch us. And they’re intelligent.
We gonna need a bigga battleship.
not really just stay on land 1) as seen in Free Willy(see where last picture is from) they can last long without being soaked in water 2) we have weapons they just have teeth 3) they are a whole lot slower on land til the book Whales on Silts becomes real 4)we can hunt them in the ocean without leaving land
Please beat that Orcas
Don’t tempt them they’re already trying hard enough!
Orcas have been my favourite animals for my entire life. They’re beautiful, extremely intelligent, adaptable, and completely badass. I mean, what else can take down a blue whale with nothing more than it was born with? That, my friends, is the true definition of BAMF.
Orcas don’t often drink. But when they do, they prefer Dos Equis.
WIN
I second that WIN.
Congratulations. Your win has been thirded.
“Ballena asesina” doesn’t translate as “whale killer”, it’s “killer whale”
I was gonna say that… I’m always so happy when my Spanish is of any use to me.
we’re doomed
Is it me, or is this graph illegitimately biased? =/

And how is a dolphin not a whale?
Because it isn’t.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_dolphin
Dolphins are cetaceans, ie whales. It’s kinda like all pit bulls are dogs, but not all dogs are pit bulls.
Not true. While they are in the same order, they are in different suborders/families. Pit bulls, like all other dogs (plus wolves and coyotes), are in the subfamily canidae so they are more closely related. You wouldn’t consider a bear or an otter to be a dog would you? And yet they are just as closely related as dolphins are to whales…
Based on your argument most whales arent related. There are like 13 families under the order of cetacea (the same point bears, wolves and otters diverge). How ever dolphins are in the suborder of Odontoceti or toothed whales separating them (and all other toothed whales) from Mysticeti (Baleen whales). So based on your argument whales arent whales because they are as closely related to whales as dogs are to bears…yea i know doesnt make sense to me either.
“ballena asesina” = killer whale: a whale that kills (for fun sometimes)
not “whale killer”
A whale is no match for my lvl. 99 Magikrap!
Oh My GAWD. We’re doomed.
Pfft! Just send out the Japanese whaling ships…after the killer whales have eaten the entire membership of Sea Shepherd
This is more scary than a zombie apocalypse.
I hope the person that made this picture gets eaten by an orca.
The binomial name is shown incorrectly. They’re supposed to be italicized. And orcas show no interest in killing human beings. The few cases that exist are because of stress (when they’re in captivity) or because they confused the poor human with a seal (because of its neoprene black diving suit)
The seal is just as “poor” as the “poor human”. When a whale eats a seal no one cares, but when a whale eats a human, it’s big news. People enjoy hearing about people dying.
oh hey they forgot to mention that compared to polar bears they are pussies and i say this because polar bears have pulled orcas onto the ice and killed them or are capable of such and can kick an orcas ass singlehandedly. your arguments are now invalid.
Doubtful. Orcas weigh over 10,000 lbs, while polar bears top out at about 1,500.
Not that I’d want to f**k with a polar bear, either, but I think you are confusing orcas and, like, seals here… Or perhaps beluga whales? They are much smaller than orcas.
Ride Narwhals for safety.

What about narwhals?
