Yes. But orcas are not a primary target of whaling activities, as are the minke whales, a type of baleen whale. Under the 1986 whaling moratorium, Japan and other countries have continued to kill whales on a limited basis, ostensibly for research. Certain native groups in some countries are also exempt from the moratorium. The largest number are being caught by Norway, which is not a signatory to the international IWC treaty.
Although they appear fierce, there are only very few recorded attacks of Killer Whales on humans.
According to Wikipedia: "Two recorded instances [of attacks] include a boy charged while swimming in Alaska and killer whales trying to tip ice floes on which a dog team and photographer of the Terra Nova Expedition was standing. In the case of the boy in Ketchikan, Alaska, the boy was splashing in a region frequented by harbour seals, leading to speculation that the killer whales misidentified him as prey and aborted their attack. In the case of the Terra Nova expedition, there is speculation that the seal-like barking of the sled dogs may have triggered the Killer Whale's hunting curiosity."
No other reliably documented attacks have been recorded.
Well it depends. It the person don't like killer whales then yes they are afraid of killer whales.
Harbor Seals Sea Otters
Definitely.
KIller Whales do not attack sharks and they do not attack anything that they see. Killer Whales only eat small sharks and fish because No creatures are mindless killers there is always a reason
Humpback whales don't usually attack other species of whales. Killer Whales are the only whales known to do that.
Yes. When people around them get too excited and start to make loud noises and strong movements, dolphins will get scared and may attack, but that is quite rare.
No they won't attack anything bigger then them
by hidding in the water
Other dolphins, penguins, seals, fish. Will sometimes attack whales. Killer whales are really large dolphins.
Killer whales will normally eat fish such as cod or they may eat sea otter they also attack other whales but the killer whale is not a whale it is a dolphin
Well besides humans, Big sharks are known to attack and kill killer whales. Killer whales main shark predators are the Great White shark as they can attack a full grown male killer whale. Other sharkscan kill ill,injured,old or young killer whales.
it helps them attack predators.
killer whales are at the top of the food chain only humans can kill killer whales cause we have weapons like guns and things like that
Whales will never attack human even though they are provoked. Whales will only attack if it's just by an accident. The only whale that will attack human is the killer whale. Whales are the largest sea animals and they are helpful because they eat any sea animals that will harm human like the shark or the anglerfish. Whales are much bigger, so they could even eat the great white shark. If we refer to whale, some people could survive, but some people get killed. If we refer to killer whales, not many people could survive a killer whale attack, so Eskimos are recently using helicopters instead of boats.
Killer whales are very tough animals with incredibly strong jaws. Animals that attack it will be very lucky to survive.
