I love Futurama

The odds of her actually getting that job are smaller than a kid dying from covid. Unfortunately they don't tell the students that when they enroll in the Marine Biology program. Make sure if she wants to pursue this she knows that.

That's funny as hell!

And I'm not sure they hire Marbies to do training. I think they look for behavioral specialists. Not exclusively, but I seem to recall when I worked at Sea World during the summers when I was a MARB major that most of those folks had degrees other than MARB.

Yea it wouldn't surprise me at all. I think most MARB students end up cleaning fish tanks. I'm pretty sure several grads actually do that for tilman. Way to spend 80 grand learning how to clean fish ****

"Peter liked to be with me," explains Lovatt. "He would rub himself on my knee, or my foot, or my hand. And at first I would put him downstairs with the girls," she says. But transporting Peter downstairs proved so disruptive to the lessons that, faced with his frequent arousals, it just seemed easier for Lovatt to relieve his urges herself manually.
"I allowed that," she says. "I wasn't uncomfortable with it, as long as it wasn't rough. It would just become part of what was going on, like an itch just get rid of it, scratch it and move on. And that's how it seemed to work out. It wasn't private. People could observe it."
For Lovatt it was a precious thing, which was always carried out with great respect. "Peter was right there and he knew that I was right there," she continues. "It wasn't sexual on my part. Sensuous perhaps. It seemed to me that it made the bond closer. Not because of the sexual activity, but because of the lack of having to keep breaking. And that's really all it was. I was there to get to know Peter. That was part of Peter."

I thought that documentary focused on the treatment of Killer Whales? Maybe Dolphins don't fair any better in captivity.. I don't know much about it all tbh

---

A killer whale is a species of dolphin

---

Just learned this.. not even sure why I didn't know that tbh. I also learned that Great White sharks are terrified of Orcas because they will straight up murder them and suck out their liver for a snack.

Nature is metal AF

---

I watched a documentary once where Orcas had learned to flip Great Whites on their backs because it makes sharks go to sleep for some reason when they are up side down. Then they ripped that motherfuc**a apart because it was trying to eat a newborn Orca.

---

I've watched Orcas hunt out in the Puget Sound. It was crazy to see how one was posted further away from the group to chase the porpoise that they ended up killing back to the group anytime it tried to get away.

You only get glimpses of it because you can only track their movement when they come up for air but it's basically like a pack of wolves hunting. They ended up tiring the porpoise out and catching it.

By chance, I ended up getting a picture of the kill shot but it was with an outdated iphong zoomed in all the way so it isn't very good (you can't really see anything). I'd have to dig through my photo album to find it.

Dolphins are d/cks of the sea

Orcas are terrifying. They'll get a seal on an ice floe and then race under the ice next to each other to create a wave that washes over the ice to tumble the seal into the water. Or they'll beach themselves on the ice to flip it. To get seals in the shallows they'll follow a wave in and hydroplane up into the shallows. Something that big and fast shouldn't be that smart.

No argument there.

It's not necessarily true that killer whales hunt great whites for food -- scientists actually aren't sure what the relationship is between the two species. What we know is that the whales are smart enough to have figured out that sharks need to move in order to breathe, so they hold the sharks upside down until they are immobilized, slowly suffocating, until they're dead. After that, we truly enter serial killer territory.

---

Yes, that was a killer whale eating the shark's liver, Hannibal Lecter-style. Interestingly, this particular case of organ theft was not even an isolated incident. In another instance, a great white approached two orcas while they were eating a seal. Not only did he end up having the **** kicked out of him, but also one of the orcas took the shark to the surface and, no ****, held the shark there while the other disemboweled it, feasting on its liver.

These killer whales were not even hunting for shark liver. This was simply a case of a great white being at the wrong place at the wrong time ... unless, of course, the whales were just using the dead seal as bait.

Whatever the truth may be, such attacks do happen, and they have one hell of an effect on the local shark community. In two wholly separate instances off California, more than three years apart, documented cases of great whites being found liverless resulted in "the entire great white population -- up to 100 individuals" escaping the orca threat in almost human-like panic within days.

In one case, a shark that the researchers were tracing had not only skipped town, but swam 2,280 miles to Hawaii. To put that in context, there is virtually no spot in the United States that is 2,280 miles away from the nearest coastline, which in shark terms would make Kansas too close to killer whales for their comfort.

Great whites are dead-eyed soulless killing machines, but orcas are twice their size, just as fast, and a lot smarter.
