Aggressive Orcas Sinking Boats off Iberian Coast Puzzle Researchers
- A group of three orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar have sunk three boats in the past three years.
- Researchers believe the behavior may have started with an orca nicknamed White Gladis who had a traumatic experience with a boat.
- The behavior seems to be spreading through social learning to other orcas in the population.
- While some experts think the behavior is playful, others believe it is purposeful and aggressive.
- The orca attacks do not seem motivated by revenge or aggression toward humans.
