Orcas, amazing and slightly terrifying creatures.

Only ride a 'cheap' little no brand folding ebike at the moment but...

Yes... I've managed to crash it twice. Once only 2 doors away from my front door.

Same. Orca smashing fish = boring in comparison.

I'm beginning to think that Orcases aren't as cuddly as they at first appear. 🫍

A friend had an inquisitive one follow him for 15mins off the Moray coast whilst kayaking as he paddled like **** back into the bay. Broaching the water numerous times within yards of him. He's a long in the tooth South African who has seen a thing or two but it's fair to say he crapped himself - metaphorically and physically.

Dolphins - also horrible little bastards once you get to know them and stop thinking about watching flipper as a kid. Not adverse to raping a porpoise....to pass the time.

I believe the number of humans killed - in the wild - by orcas currently stands at zero.

It is indeed. But much like when a sea snake got entangled in my BCD whilst diving and knowing that their mouth size meant I was mostly safe, persuading yourself you are safe when being tracked by an Orca is significantly easier to do as a desk exercise than in reality 😀

So whoever is the first recorded will have a place in history?

Lol, trailers would definitely end with me in A&E!

I'm the Martini of bike crashers, anytime, any place, anywhere. 😁
