Killer whales are another type of dolphin btw, you're just as safe in the water with them if its not to cold. The only problem is they may try to rape you like dolphins.
The Yamila79-Orcas are not meant to be in captivity and being kept in tanks literally drives them crazy and they do end up killing people by in some cases. It's never in a malicious way though, they're usually playing and just don't realize that humans can't hold their breath for as long as they can. Easy solution....don't capture them and keep them in captivity, see them in their natural habitat with their family members instead!
And to all the "I would rather stay on land if that happened" people, read biology and not headlines... If the water temperature was right I would gladly swim with them...
@OrciTheOrca there are actually 3 records of orcas attacking a human in wild, but it was unintentially. you can find the 3 cases if you search it on google. orca attack on human, it explains how and what happened when they were attacked, mostly the orca's were mistaken them for seals or food.
If my understanding is correct, the pods in the San Juan Islands and up around Vancouver are not the predatory "killer" whales. Because they are localized and travel in pods, they are much less "scary" than the ones that travel alone. At least that's what I was told while on a whale watching cruise up in the Gulf Islands.
@dakotapie We had quite the encounter last September up there. Our kayak found itself 25 yards away from a feeding pod. It was the experience of a lifetime.
Killer whales are very gentle mammals. They wouldn't intentionally overturn a boat or kill someone. You would be pretty safe kayaking with them. Their sense of echolocation is pretty acute and they can sense where you are and what you are (Their sonar can tell whether you are sick, how full your lungs are or even your mood)
@NotQuiteLucid Depends on who you ask but both names are correct..
Killer whales/Orcas are know to kill things just for fun and playing with their food.. they can be very cruel animals ie killing a humpback whales baby and not eating it after they just dont want the compatition..
@oxhwkxo most the time even if they did turn a kayak over the'd help you to where ever theres another kayak to ive seen it done. the whale tipped over a kayak and the whale brought the person in the boat over to our boat i was like holy shit.
@oxhwkxo HA! u a fucking lie, killer whales r da harshest butt ugly creatures dat ever lived. infact i wudd never fucking kayak with dem!!! STUPID FUCKING DOLPHINS!!! LETS MAKE A HOLOCAUST

A wild Orca have NEVER, and I mean NEVER EVER attacked a human. NEVER.
Even though they would be an easy meal when in the ocean, they have never found a human in the water as food.
Captured orcas have however harmed humans. The only one i know about is Tillikum, in SW Orlando.
1. Killed a trainer who fell in the water with him and two other orcas, one new born calf...
2. Man found dead in the pool, died from hypothermia,.
3. Killed a trainer after a day of notable agression to everything..

They get their name (or nickname) from the fact that they kill other whales. Personally I also prefer orca.
