"Imagine you’re sailing the Strait of Gibraltar when suddenly an orca slams into your boat. Since 2020, these apex predators have been biting rudders, ramming and tipping boats, and in some shocking cases, sinking vessels. For sailors here, it’s a terrifying experience. And it’s happening with increasing frequency.

It’s a compelling narrative, but scientists aren’t convinced. For them, the real explanation is even stranger."
