Why are orca and humpback whales enemies?
Orca and humpback whales are not traditional enemies, but they can exhibit aggressive interactions due to competition for food and territorial disputes. Orcas, also known as killer whales, are apex predators and may prey on young humpback calves, leading to confrontations. Humpbacks are known to display defensive behaviors, such as breaching or slapping the water with their fins, to protect their young from orca attacks. These interactions highlight the complex dynamics of marine ecosystems rather than a clear-cut enmity.
