Remember when orcas kept sinking yachts? Well, now it’s happening again.

Three boats off the coast of Portugal have been struck by orcas, with one sinking as a consequence of the attack.

Why is this happening? Well, first, at least one of the crews ignored warnings about boating in the area because of the killer whales, so that’s kind of on them. As for the other ones, it seems like orcas just sort of do this for fun.

Not the most satisfying answer, but if you can’t handle the orcas, stay out of the ocean!
