aggressive and violent behaviors with each other, something rarely if ever observed in the wild. Much of this is believed to be the product of marine parks’ tendencies to throw together orcas from disparate social groups and ecotypes (transients thrown in together with residents, Icelandic whales with Northwest orcas) so that the cultural boundaries that have defined these whales’ behaviors all their lives is discarded and ignored.
Violent behaviors in captivity between whales as well as towards humans (unheard of in Wild)
