I always wanted to visit flame beach in Patagonia to see the orca beach themselves to grab sea lion,have their ever been any genuine wild orca attacks recorded on humans I wonder?Picture in The Times (uk) today showing an orca battering a bottlenose dolphin in the head. In a 15 minute chase it had been killed by repeated head blows.
This behaviour has been observed for decades of course. The orcas are fickle and will sometimes eat the dolphin and sometimes not. They may toy around with dolphins (eg throwing them high in the air) before killing them.
Gruesome behaviour from these mammals with larger brains than ours.
Dolphins are no better killing porpoises and often not even eating them. One of the places this has been observed is the Moray Firth off Scotland.
Sure, nothing in the sea is off the menu for orcas including blue whales. But, still, all these cetaceans feasting on each other.

Essentially no.have their ever been any genuine wild orca attacks recorded on humans I wonder?
