I wonder why the minke whale didint call rapee!!Jk.jk
-
they're called KILLER whales for a reason..... haha
-
@ItsTheBibby sperm whales inn a full pack they can defend them self, but even if they are inn a full pack, the killer whales can still kill most of them. only the large males have teeth to really scare off the killer whales, but a single male with no pack can be eaten by killer whales. dont get me wrong, in a straight up fight, the killer whales would probably lose. But thats what makes the killer whales so spesial, they use tactics. slowly exhasting it before going in for the kill.
-
@ItsTheBibby There is video footage of attacks yes
-
Have you ever seen a sperm whale attack an Orca though :) Or another whale for that matter?
-
@ItsTheBibby Oh they can deffend themselfs, but against big packs of orcas, that can come in packs to even 20-50 individuals. Even the biggest of animals can fall prey to a well co-ordinated orca attack. A simply google will answer your question, first of I tried, but I also saw the discovery and animal planet program were they talked and showed footage from the attacks.

Sperm whales and Blue whales? I'd like to see that. Now don't get me wrong, you are very possibly right, it's just that a mammal such as sperm whale, the worlds largest predator and the blue whale which is the largest that have ever existed, would be capable of defending themselves.
-
@catchfree84 Oh they do. There have even been cases were they have attacked whales as large as sperm whales and even blue whales. They have also been seen killing sharks like the whale shark and even the great whites. Using such advanced techniques as putting sharks and rays into a tonic immobility
