Killer whales attack fishing boats off the coast of Spain

The year-round aggression of killer whales against boats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal continues unabated.

As of October last year, there were 33 bizarre attacks of “revenge” of killer whales off the coast of Spain and Portugal and it seems that they are not over yet.

A video made by fishermen in the Straight of Gibralter on April 3 shows the men fighting bravely on a pod of angry marine mammals as they attack the boat and break its rudder.

In a video published by The Daily Mail, 40-year-old captain Antonio Busse is seen fighting orcs with a pole as he yells at them to “upset!” “Mamma Mia!” and “get out of the boat (crying)!”

Other crew members are seen throwing objects into the water to try to frighten the angry hat of four, to no avail, and a large whale can be seen swimming under the boat – causing the crew to scream in fear. Another video shows the killer whales surrounding the boat threateningly and smashing the nearby surface.

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

The killer whales finally managed to break the rudder after repeatedly hitting it.

The killer whales finally left after a rocket ignited, successfully scaring the killer whales.

While killer whales in other parts of the world usually leave boats alone, last year saw increasing aggression from them in this part of the world, confusing scientists.
