Orcas, often referred to as killer whales, are known as one of the ocean’s most formidable apex predators. However, a recent study has revealed an unexpected side to these powerful marine mammals: They sometimes offer food to humans. Over the past two decades, researchers have documented 34 instances in which killer whales approached humans with offerings of food. These included dead fish, birds, stunned stingrays, and even incapacitated sharks.
