Killer Whales

Thanks to the Discovery channel, I found out that the killer whale or orca is not a whale but a part of the oceanic dolphin family. I always thought that sharks were the threat of the sea, apparently I was wrong. These guys could maul a great white if they want. In captivity, the one called Tilikum has already killed three humans. These incidents however cannot be called intentional. In the wild, there are less incidents of attacked humans, killer whales only target their usual prey, we humans are not part of their menu so basically, they are not supposed to touch us. However the fact remains, nature is unpredictable, its still better to be safe than sorry.
