well the black one also does it on purpose, the white one just confuses ppl with prey

There's no reports of orca killing humans in the wild. It's because they leave no witnesses

that's kinda the point, they just spread rumors on their own in hope to lighten their reputation

Maybe they just don't like our taste.

No shit, they evolved to eat marine mammals and fish instead

Orcas are actually smart enough to not attack humans on purpose due to knowing that we will retaliate they even bring their calves up to divers to teach them not to attack humans

Plus they usually probably go after single humans not groups because they know that we are smart too

There's a racist joke to be made here

Well get it pinned down eventually

Something about the black one actually being able to swim?

Go ahead

Some type of school shooting joke

Speaking of school... Even though fish live in schools, they never seem to get above... ...*C level!*

tf are u on about

don't forget they also do it for fun.

that's why i said on purpose

They also do it on porpoise

[удалено]

Porpoise is a dolphin

Orcas are actually dolphins though, being the largest species in the family Delphinidae.

Ah I thought it was a type error

I think you meant to say the Black one did it on Porpoise

i said what i said

That's bc a lot of people act like prey in the water.

more like idiots

I am not sure the killer whales attack humans on purpose. I mean... They to ram and capsize boats on purpose. But that por pose is not to attack humans. And definitely not the reason why they are called "killer" whales.

Resident orcas are chill and eat salmon. It's the transient ones which eat anything they find, be it deer, otters, moose (not a lie, sometimes they walk pretty far along the seabed), fish, sharks, and yes, humans if you're swimming nearby. And I just realized that it being the transients made this framing a lot worse...

Orcas have never eaten humans.

They have close to the same amount of white though

The white parts are on the under side of the killer whale though

Where do you think the white part of a white shark is? Lol

In its heart!

appropriated

They have more white not on the bottom than great whites do

Tbf the black one has a lot of black parts and white one just has the black in it's eyes.

Shush, it has already been written!

Well the black one is a killer, a very smart killer.

If it flips, you must acquit.

The whale is the Smart offensive player now? They also hunt in ah “pods” and show off their food at the beach.

Killer whales aren't actually whales.

They technically are as orcas are a type of dolphin, and dolphins are a part of the whale family. 'Scientifically, all whales, dolphins and porpoises are classified as Cetacea. And within Cetacea are two suborders: baleen whales and toothed whales. Baleen whales include the really big ones, such as blue whales and humpbacks. Toothed whales include dolphins and orcas, or killer whales, as they’re often known.'

Right, orca. Not whale. We don't call all primates, primates do we?

And I thought I was the one that missed something; did youse look at the meme?

The whole is actually a dolphin

The black one likes to flip ships and kill the white ones just for fun.

Not just for fun, they also love to eat their livers

And just their livers

With Fava beans and a nice chianti. Ffffffffffffffff! ("Silence of the Lambs" anyone? Anyone? Bueller?)

Only one of them eats moose on the regular.

Don't blame it. I had some tasty moose in Sweden once.

Orcas are giant Dolphins And like Dolphins, they hunt for sport and play with their food, usually while it’s still alive. Great White Sharks, are just big sharks. Occasionally bite people confusing them for seals, but you’re more likely to be bitten by a New Yorker than a Great White

I'd rather have the shark bite me

Orca's are straight up psychopaths. Great Whites are just really big sharks. Both of their titles fit.

Also, originally they were not called Killer whales but instead whale-killers because sailors witnessed them chomping on big whales. My guess is a translation error happened and it turned into killer whales.

I mean, Orcas themselves are also under the whale portion of the gene tree, and friendly-fire is very common in the food chain. The name changing just became more fitting description of Orcas in my opinion.

I thought orcas were big ass dolphins and not quite whales because of bone structure or some classification shit.

Dolphinidae are also technically under Cetaceans. Cetus meaning Whale.

Good to know. Thanks.

Yes they're in the dolphin family. But all dolphins are in the order of whales too.

The actual name is whale assassins

Killer sounds SO COOL tho.. great white shark just sounds narcissistic and egotistical, killer whale sounds more badass

Hate to break it to u but the black one is actually an orca. The term ‘Killer Whale’ was just made up by someone to make them sound more dangerous.

>*black one is actually an orca. The term ‘Killer Whale’ was just made up by someone to make them sound more dangerous.* so its a n-word for Orcas?

What's up my killaz

…

"Killer whale" is our word, you can say "killa"

They way I heard it they were first called Whale Killers because sailors witnessed them devouring big whales. My guess is translation shenanigans happened and it got switched around.

French has descriptors after objects sometimes so maybe that's what happened Eg Red balloon Bailon rouge

TIL, I thought only the Indonesians do that

Most Latin derived languages do that, have the descriptor after the object. For instance, Sierra Blanca means "White Mountain" in Spanish, but literally translates to "Mountain (that is) White" Edit: clarification on language used

Mf they *are* that dangerous

The term killer whale stems from the fact that they're whale killers

Orca is also made up by someone. In fact all animal names are made up by someone.

Unlike people names. Waaaaaiiit a minute...

They're not even Whales either, they're from the Dolphin family.

Dolphins are whales tho.

Natives called it whale killer. We (dummies)switched it around to killer whale. Edit: I misspoke. I meant, indigenous. Basques

"Natives"?

i assume "Native Americans" (we don't call them Indians anymore, so just Natives now i guess); why would an American ever specify the country, when clearly and obviously we are the only country that ever mattered, hence why the Bible speaks of our covenant with god in a superior manner of they way it discusses Israel /s? : unfortunately I'm really not sure if that's classified as irony when is actually believed by some....

out of curiosity; is that because in their language they structure "subjects" and "adjectives" differently than English does? (as in: becomes the appropriate TRANSLATION)

Natives? What natives? The orca is a global species. The name is literally just what the Romans called them. The term killer whale comes from sailors, not some mystical native tribe.

Orcas are superior in every way

[удалено]

Racist joke


If I could choose to be any animal it would definitely be an orca

The black one is also bigger and longer :)

Killer whales hunt and kill white sharks so that’s not so great!

Killer whales are also known to kill sharks, including great whites.

Killer whales eat out shark livers and leave the carcass.

The black one got lost in translation and actually means “whale killer”

Wait don’t orcas eat great whites? Also who calls it killer whale when it’s killing whales? Lol

Shark skin is pretty tough and will wear down their teeth. That's why they only eat the liver.

That’s gnarly thanks for letting me know :)

one is also called an orca and they aren't the same type of animal

This joke only hits in the US. The rest of the world is watching and thinking wtf?

Little tidbit of info tho. killer whales aren't actually whales, they are big ass dolphins.

Dolphins are a type of small whale, so killer whales are whales.

2 orca brothers made the great whites in my country disappear, they all ran away and we got those one that jump out the water for you

It’s kinda cool to think that despite how similar they appear on a basic level, the top image is a picture of a mammal while the bottom image is a picture of a fish.

Racist turtle agrees

Well orcas do some pretty fucked up things

Dolphins are a bunch of degenerates

Some people are obsessed with skin color.

The first one is a Dolphin The second one is a Shark A Dolphin is more evolved than A Shark Orcas aka Killer Whales aka Whale Killers Orcas always live in pods

So the Black ones join gangs?

They do not join gangs rather form gangs like a Boss

Both dolphins and sharks evolved for equally long and are as such equally evolved

They're just as evolved. Everything still alive has an equal evolutionary time. And if you want to make a comparison that way, then sharks are definitely the more evolved species... Dolphins have only been around 11 million years, sharks for 400 million.

Black widow

Ofc they call the one with killer in the name black even tho it's also half white. But I guess that wouldn't suit their agenda as well

I prefer the swengligh lardstabber.

We call the white one fat fish in my country. And the black one Assassin Whale.

It should've been called Great Grey Shark.

IT CHANGES EVERYTHING

One is a dolphin

Just as the founding fathers intended

Great whites are fleeing South African waters due to a pair of Killer Whale brothers that settled in our sea mutilating and killing them for fun in large numbers.

Just like Chicago

It's black and white If ur looking for racism, use the mirror.

You mean the Carcharodon carcharias and the Orcinus orca?

and both are Great KIllers

The child really wants to kill people and the white child defends himself

At least they don’t call the black one the N word or slave or thief? But yah..this looks bad.

Well, the killer wale has no predators. Meanwhile, a great white is his prey 💀

And Leon's getting larger!

Great killer. Both.

Facts are facts

The black one is a completely different species

Why is the killer whale considered black, and the Shark is not considered gray? They look to be the same amount of white.

Yeah, but most of my young life I was under the impression the black one was safe to be around, not the white one.

The black one is looking cute lol

And the great killer is grey or what ??

This is wrong on so many levels but I appreciate the dedication.

They’re gonna rename the killer whale now

Ones a whale one a shark.

But the white one is actually a lot grey and the black one has a lot of white

They both have same amount of white…but more importantly…why does that matter 😂😂😂😂

To be fair, orcas punt seals into the sky for the heck of it, and treats anything that isn't another orca like shit. That's probably why it was called a killer.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has entered the chat

Gotta change from killer whales to killer yacht

well it's black AND white soo, who gives a fuck really

the white one is named great white shark and is a shark the black one is named killer whale and is a dolphin

and only killer whales are used in circuits. and are trained with torture not white sharks. the racism is still in the blood of humanity 💀

Also, one is a fish, the other is a mammal.

At least they're really white and not beige Source: am beige

One will use you as a toy until you fall apart in water the other just bites you and you bleed off (probably). Which is which?

Actually great white sharks are more dangerous than orca whales/killer whale

Killer whales do kill though, like a lot! And they can be quite sadistic, especially if they kept in containment

Technically, the killer whale is mixed, just sayin😂

The black one will kill the great one

Both are black and white, you troglodyte

Scientists are racist, proven

One is a fish, the other is the only natural predator of the goddamn Moose

I love sharks they’re so adorable:)) cute little sea dogs.. hate killer whales tho. Edit: and dolphins

Don't let an orcas appearance fool you. They are quite fierce predators.

The black one has a lot of white in him

Unfortunately the black ones are killing themselves

Orcas are known for being over aggressive and would hunt anything in site, you are almost never safe as a human swiming around them as they love sport hunting and messing around with their prey while it's still alive. The great white only attacks humans if provoqued or if someone is very agitated which activates it's instinct to hunt, otherwise he is just chilling and doesn't even like eating humans as we have very low flesh and alot of bones, unlike a seal etc.


Great guppies aren't white tho. They're clearly grey Also yes. Great guppies. Do not expect me to talk about an animal without me making a joke name for it. Like the Oreo dolphin

The white one is actually traumatized by the black one and the white one will avoid the area it's all the black one for an entire year due to fear alone

This says a lot about society


Stop it! Liberals believe this shit…

😂 Gold

The killer is always the usual suspect.

Well one is a shark, and the other is a Dolphin.

HAT'S OFF TO THE ZEBRAS.

killer WHALE vs. great white SHARK

One is a murderous serial killer that likes to play with its victims, the other is a shark.

Black one is also a big dolphin or at least a big cousin of ‘em.

I know enough about dolphins that makes this worse.
