The study indicates that Orcas may try to learn “who we” when they share prey with humans.

Jard Towers on the search ship was on two separate occasions watching deadly whales off the coast of Vancouver when Orcas dropped its prey directly in front of him and his colleagues.

The meetings that he described as “rare” and exhausting led to a new study published in the comparative psychology journal reviewed by the peers, which separate researchers’ experiences with fatal whales apparently their food with humans.

“We have a long history of interacting with other animals, and we try to feed them and measure their responses. But it is very rare to do any wild predator for us,” said Tirers, the CEO of Research at Pay Biology.

“This is truly the first report of any kind of literature that documents these cases of deadly whales.”

Towers says that his colleagues were wandering when OCA appeared, as they set out from the second meeting in 2018. They stopped and watched him swimming before his appearance and launching a newly killed seal next to the boat.

“She could drop her from the back or bow, but she dropped it directly in the middle of the ship, next to us,” said Tersers.

“We just sat there, we saw this thing drowning in the water for approximately 10 or 15 seconds until it did some circle and returned and took it.”

This was followed by a meeting in 2015 that participated in the opening of his mouth and the release of a deadly deadly dead, a type of marine bird, next to the horoscope boat. He says that Orka left her prey to float for a few moments before taking her again.

“We have left it a bit horrific,” Towers said.

“I started thinking about these animals a little differently at that point.”

Towers and his colleagues began an investigation that led to the publication of the study on Monday, which examined 34 cases that looked deadly whales around the world.

Tirers, headquartered in Alert Bay, before the northeast of Vancouver, said that the researchers wanted to make sure that the study was examined only by cases where the whales were “out of them to interact with people instead of the opposite.”

In order to include it in the study, the whales had to approach human beings directly. The researchers looked at cases where people did not approach whale at a distance of more than 50 meters in the five minutes that preceded the reaction.

In all cases except for one of the situations, the study says that whales were observed waiting for people to respond before restoring or giving up their prey.

“These mistakes were not like the deadly whales, they mistakenly dropped the food. They wanted to see how people responded,” Tersers said.

The study does not exclude any selfish motives behind behavior. But Towers says he feels that the sharing of the apparent prey is “altruism” and “pro -society”.

Food sharing between relatives and other Orcas is essential for whales, and in an attempt to provide humans with prey, he says it may be an example of whales that practice cultural behavior or explore the ability of humans to respond.

“I think these cases may actually be in support of society for conscious learning, as these whales are going on their way to an attempt to understand … who we are and how we can interact with them in their environment,” Towers said.

Given the advanced cognitive capabilities and the social and cooperative nature of deadly whales as a type, the study says that researchers “assume that any or all of these interpretations are for the sake of this behavior.”

The whales in the study were crossing off the coast of BC and Alaska, the eastern population of the Equatorial Pacific Ocean off the coast of California, along with the deadly whales around New Zealand, Central Argentina and Norway. The study says that all “show” events occurred between 2004 and 2024.

Orcas is usually used prey to engage in toys, and the study acknowledges that 38 percent of the prey shared cases he studied appear to include play. The whales may have used its prey to incite playing with humans, she says.

But for several reasons, the study says that researchers do not believe that play was the motivation factor behind clear shows.

Play often occurs after whales meet their nutritional needs, but in cases of prey sharing with humans, the shows were complete in about half of the meetings.

Orcas has mostly regained prey after it was not accepted by humans and often continued its participation with other whales. In most cases, interactions did not last longer than 30 seconds. In contrast, the study says that whales usually engage in playing continuously.

The study concludes that whales have the ability and motivation to exchange food for multiple reasons that can include intellectual or emotional benefits.

He said, “The presentation of human elements can simultaneously include opportunities for fatal whales to practice the cultural behavior that is beneficial, exploration, or play, thus identifying, manipulating, or developing relationships,” he said.

Tirers says he hopes that the study will provide an opportunity for people to consider deadly whales in a different light, which sparked curiosity about their ability to think “and may have some of the convergence of thought with us.”

The towers added that researchers strongly discourage people from accepting any prey to OCAS, because of the possibility that both types will harm each other.
