Wild Orca imitation of an outboard motor

[thataway]

I apologize in advance if this was already posted in the past. I don't know if this is a hoax or not, but funny. This is rumored to be "Luna" an Orca which was orphaned from his pod. Luna has been mentioned in some posts I found, but not this video.

It was most definitely Luna. If you have Netflix, check out the film The Whale. It's a great documentary about Luna and the locals efforts to save him.

Brings up the age old question - Which is better, single or twin orcas?

Of course the female orcas are wondering - "Long or short shaft?" :lol:

Thanks for the reality check: ironic, perplexing, sad.

Some things may well be left alone if just to poorly understood for human meddling.

Maybe the experts did accomplish one thing: demonstrated the limits of their expertise.

Or, (in somewhat overstated terms), as someone here has written in their signature line, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".
