Orca whales ATTACK fishing boat and tear off rudder in another bizarre encounter

MOMENT Orca whales ATTACK fishing boat and tear off rudder in another bizarre encounter. It was a case of “Oh no, not again!” for a boat delivery skipper who came under attack by a pod of killer whales for a second time recently. Captain Daniel Kriz was sailing to the Canary Islands to deliver a catamaran back in April when he felt a hard hit to the boat. He realized it was the same situation as back in 2020, when his boat was attacked by orcas. Sure enough, video from Kriz shows one of the orcas bashing against a rudder and breaking it off. “We lost both rudders,” Kriz is heard saying. The rudderless boat “limped to Barbate, Spain, using its motors,” Catamaran Guru, whose boat was being delivered, said. According to Catamaran Guru, Kriz said it seemed that the whales “were getting more strategic”. The most recent attack, he said, was much faster. It “took only 15 minutes … with both rudders being bitten off.” The Sun newspaper brings you the latest breaking news videos and explainers from the UK and around the world Become a Sun Subscriber and hit the bell to be the first to know Read The Sun: Like The Sun on Facebook: Follow The Sun on Twitter: Subscribe to The Sun on Snapchat:
