103 Year Old Orca Whale Spotted Off Canada

Oh this is getting awesome

 

Surf & Turf = Win

 

As a submariner I would expect you not to be so sensitive.

 

I suspect you misinterpret a solid respect for these animal as some form of sensitivity.

 

No, your feelings for the whales has nothing to do with the formulation of my opinion of you being overly sensitive. It has nothing to do with your love for the whales. I actually respect that.

The fact that you couldn't handle me correcting you about what sensory deprivation is and what it isn't and the level of butthurt from you over the suggestion of reading has formed that opinion. Your claims of me twisting your words to suit my agenda which I hadn't done, or atleast that was not my intent has fomented this thought of your perceived sensitivity.

Its ok to be sensitive but don't let the internet hurt you.

 

You like turning up the bashing, surgie, its evident of you character type, but i'll leave the member trashing to you from here out.
People here can judge for themselves. I'm going back to the topic at hand of how old might a whale be.

 

My apologies that you feel bashed.


It is quite amazing that granny is as old as is thought. Im curious if her age is typical of a killer whale or if she is unique in that.

Doesn't seem that granny has much longer then. It's amazing that she has survived as long as she has with how hostile the ocean could be.

 

They're on the top of the food chain as far as natural dangers are concerned

 

It's too bad its the occasional boat prop and some hits that get them at times, the human interaction part.

Hmmm ... strange indeed

 

That has been a 401k for years they eat all the overhead & 100% of your $ gos to the sea life & animal funds they support

 

All large things will run out of time.. They will be over run by this

 

Babies live in the ocean now , is that they are new thing ?

 

I think the ocean is the best place for unwanted babies. Perhaps we could offer them to the killer whales for absolution of our sins.

 

How about a 1/4 of a trillion of them looking for food

WAT,are you drunk

 

Do you think they are bodies will adapt to they are new enviornment ?

 

How do they know how old 'granny' really is ?
