#orca pod

[badasslittlepunkrockdyke]

did yall know that some pods of orcas have been observed having cultural fads? A few pods in and around the Puget Sound started wearing "salmon hats" (dead salmon on their heads) and soon enough their entire pod and the others nearby were all doing it for a few weeks. It was first observed in 1987, but again in 2024

YALL CANT TELL ME THAT ISNT SO CUTE

“Sink the Rich”

Based on the recent orcas attacking sail boats near Spain, thanks to what they think is white gladis teaching other orcas within their pod on how to capsize sailboats/yachts. Manifesting the energy of them dealing with a certain billionaires boats.

I’ve been busy with work and getting suits done and out.

Plan to make this into merch or something maybe

Orca | Orcinus orca

“Orcas are often called killer whales. Though they don't typically attack humans, this name is still well-chosen due to the animal's ability to take down large marine animals, such as sea lions and whales. In fact, orcas will prey on almost any animal they find in the sea, in the air over the water or along the coastline. To hunt, killer whales use their massive teeth, which can grow up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) long.  

Orcas are very social and live in groups called pods, which usually have up to 40 members. There are two different kinds of pods: A resident pod is less aggressive and tends to prefer fish. Transient pods act much like wolf packs and are much more aggressive. They hunt marine mammals by working together.” (Source)
