Has a killer whale ever killed anyone?

Answer 1

There are no reports of whale attacks on humans in the wild, although some have be known to happen in captive situations.

Killer whales have been known to kill people in the wild they do not know!

Answer 2

The name 'killer whale' has to do with the fact they kill other whales, not humans. But, if they have an opportunity, they could kill a human too, but they prefer to eat other aquatic species, mainly seals. Also, the preferred term is orca.

That is not true. They don't kill other whale unless necessary, like if they were being attacked or something duh!
Orcas have only ever been responsible for the death of 2 people. Both of which occured in captivity.

Answer 3

Yes, killer whales have killed humans because in the news this year of 2010 a 22 foot killer whale has killed a 40 year old human. They say that the woman was doing an act of moving her head side by side, and as she went into the water her pony tail drifted and that's when the whale grabbed it and thought it was a toy/game. Its horrible
