"GLADYS" THE ORCA TEACHING OTHERS HOW TO ATTACK BOATS IN SPAIN

Hello everyone, WELCOME TO MY BLOG!!! 

This is my first ever post o here and i really hope you guys enjoy learning about orcas as much as I do.

Today the topic is about Gladys. She is a victim of being caught in an illegal fishing net and wants revenge for it. She, as the older orca in her pod of 15 has been teaching the others how to attack boats because of her trauma and they are now known as the "Gladis Orcas".

They sneakily approach the boat from underneath and examine it closely, the crew never even know they are there, they begin to touch it and hit the rudder with their heads to turn the ship; they can even break it with a lever movement. “They know that this is how the boat turns and that they can steer it,” explains Alberto López, a marine biologist of the Orca Atlántica group.

Orcas don´t usually attack neither boats and people, but the Gladis orcas are the only exception. Their aggressive behavior began in 2020 with Gladis but she has been working on teaching the young and other of her companians. Marine biologists fear the orcas will begin to spread this behavior all throughout and the ocean will become even scarier.
