Killer whales attack fishing boat outside Spain

The years-long aggression of hurricane pools against boats off the coast of Spain and Portugal continues unabated.

By October last year, there had been 33 bizarre “revenge” attacks by killer whales off the coasts of Spain and Portugal, and it looks like they are not over yet.

A video taken by fishermen in the Straights of Gibraltar on April 3 shows the men bravely fighting off a pod of the raging sea mammals as they attack the boat and break its rudder.

In a video published by The Daily Mail, captain Antonio Busse, 40, is seen fighting with a pole from the orcs as he yells at them to “piss!” “Mamma Mia!” and “get off the (thriving) boat!”

Other crew members are seen throwing articles into the water to try to deter the angry pod of four, in vain and one large orca can be seen swimming under the boat, causing the crew to scream in fear. Another video shows the orcas threatening the boat and breaking the surface nearby.

Initially, the crew “heard a strange noise and rushed to the top of the ship” and thought they might have hit a container – but “quickly realized that killer whales were playing around the ship instead and trying to hit it” , Captain Busse said. The real press.

The orcas eventually managed to break the rudder after hitting it repeatedly.

The orcs finally left after a torch was lit and the orcs successfully deterred.

While orcas in other parts of the world usually leave boats alone, the past year has seen increasing aggression from them in this area of ​​the world, which confuses scientists.
