Q. Why do killer whales not eat humans?
There are a few theories about why orcas don’t attack humans in the wild, but they generally come down to the idea that orcas are fussy eaters and only tend to sample what their mothers teach them is safe. Since humans would never have qualified as a reliable food source, our species was never sampled.
Q. Did Shamu eat his trainer?

Q. Who killed Tilikum trainers?
Tilikum was involved in the deaths of three people: Keltie Byrne – a trainer at the now-defunct Sealand of the Pacific, Daniel Dukes – a man trespassing in SeaWorld Orlando, and SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau.
Q. Why was Tilikum’s fin bent?
The phenomenon is more common in captivity, but people have also seen wild orcas with curved fins. So, the cause cannot be captivity alone. Ultimately, what’s going on is the collagen in the dorsal fin is breaking down. In captivity, whales breach the surface more often, exposing their fins to the warmer air.
Q. Is Shamu Tilikum baby?

A killer whale’s eyes are on each side of its head, just behind and above the corner of its mouth, and in front of its white eyespot.
Q. How can you tell if a whale is male or female?
The relative location of the genital slit offers some clues: For males, the genital slit is located closer to the whale’s belly, while the females’ genital slit is closer to their tail flukes. Immediately towards the tail from the genital slit, females have a grapefruit-sized lump known as a hemispherical lobe.
