    If I were to go swimming, with a dead salmon on my head, would I be accepted into the pack, or merely well seasoned?

      We’ve had that Orcas vs. Humans peace treaty for several generations already, but it doesn’t entitle for species swapping.

      You’ll be some interesting human with a new behavior that they will observe and ask around what are you thinking.

    Maybe you think its gross, but humans too walk around with dead animals on their head like it looks good.

    Shit like this makes me think the Roman fear of killer whales was entirely justified in their time, and that eating humans just kinda fell out of vogue with them.

    To lure us into a false sense of security, no doubt.
