There were two more incidents of orcas going after boats in the Strait of Gibraltar this week, and it’s still not clear what is causing the behavior.
off the coast of southern Spain, doing enough damage — including puncturing the hull and breaking the rudder — that the crew had to call in a maritime rescue and the vessel had to be towed to port for repairs. It was the second time in less than a week that such an encounter was reported in the same area, and the latest in a baffling series of seeming attacks on boats by the animals in or near the Strait of Gibraltar.
It’s still not clear why these highly intelligent, innately curious mammals — who have apparently been learning the behavior from each other — are going after the boats or whether the damage is even intentional. One scientist has theorized that the behavior is a kind of self-defense that originated with a single female orca after a traumatic encounter with a boat.
