Killer Whales Sink Yacht in Coordinated Attack in the Mediterranean

A British crew was rescued after their vessel was systematically dismantled by a pod of orcas, raising questions about this unusual behavior.

The $128,000 yacht was destroyed in a two-hour assault by five orcas off the coast of Spain.
The crew, celebrating a birthday, attempted various deterrents but were ultimately forced to abandon ship.
Experts are divided on whether the behavior is playful or aggressive, with some suggesting environmental stressors or past traumas as triggers.
Marine biologists note that such attacks are rare but have been increasing in frequency in certain regions.
The incident adds to a growing list of orca-boat encounters, prompting calls for further study and preventive measures.
