a simbiotic relationship!
the Orca and the Fishermen......

One helping the other one......back and forth!........Splitting the catch!
Sometimes it’s the fishing boats that look for the killer whales.......
hoping to locate the shoals of herring that migrate to the Arctic Norwegian waters......
But in recent winters, the whales have also started to follow the boats.......
Here a large male killer whale feeds on herring that have been squeezed out of the boat’s closing fishing net.....
He has learnt the sound that this type of boat makes when it retrieves its gear... and homed in on it......
The relationship seems to be a win-win one.....
Good! at least they dont try to kill or harm the killer whale!
Nice thing to see!!!.....they got an understanding.....!!! LOL
different from normal aggressive human behavior towards animals......
and a great picture :-)
enjoy!

Sometimes it's good to see when two enemies are helping each other or sitting at one table for a chat. great capture.
Ha Ha, that's for sure :)
Sometimes its so nice to see beautiful girl commenting 3:) :D i hope you wont kill me lol :D
Orcas are such powerful creatures they have a some of the highest IQ in the animal kingdom i believe.
Are you kidding me. Now I love whales even more
omg best one man <3 they are so loveable :)
Agreed <3
It is beautiful and scary at the same time. But i am sure that they were just playing, because scientists say that wild orcas do NOT actually harm humans as they find them not intimidating but that's not good to the boat on because the propellers can really hurt the whales.
Also wants fish;)
I love whales. I like how we say people on here that are big contributes are considered whales. Ocean themes are always the best.
