Trites, professor and director of the Marine Mammal Research Centre at the University of British Columbia, isn't convinced by the idea killer whales are reacting to the past trauma experienced by a single member of their pod. The killer whales, he added, may be engaging with the boats on purpose to stop the vessels from engaging in similar behaviour that could harm them. Baffled by the number of incidents, Mr Lopez argued they may all originate from a traumatic episode experienced by one specific killer whale, known as White Gladis.Įxplaining the animal is believed to have remained injured after clashing with a boat, Alfredo Lopez Fernandez told Live Science: "That traumatised specimen is the one that has initiated the behaviour involving physical contact with the boats."
