@abc7la: An #orca was seen repeatedly bumping into a #yacht near the #StraitOfGibraltar, an area known for orca attacks on marine vessels. Researchers hypothesize that the attacks might be a new “fad” among the orca population in the area, or a reaction to a bad experience involving a boat, according to Scientific American. Alfredo Lopez, an orca researcher at the Atlantic Orca Working Group, told Scientific American that the orca attacks near the Iberian Peninsula are part of a rare behavior that has only been detected in that part of the world.
