Orca Memes Are Taking Over Twitter After Recent Boat Attacks

If you thought the sharks were the scariest part of the ocean, we’ve got some news for you: orcas have started attacking boats in an attempt to sink them. Thankfully, no humans have been injured in these “orca wars” that started in 2020. So, it makes these orca memes a little bit more amusing.

Scientists aren’t totally sure what’s driving this trend, but some think it may be response to past trauma. The thought is that one orca had a bad encounter with a boat or net, so it taught other orcas to attack boats as an act of revenge. A petty queen? We can’t help but stan.

And in their defenses, us humans did give them the nickname of “killer whale.” What were we expecting? Next time, let’s going with something a bit nicer, like Big Oreo Bois or Whaley McWhale Face. In the meantime, check out these orca wars memes and be thankful you’re on solid land.
