Killer whales are a kind of whale, and they are relatively fierce whales. Even the fierce great white shark is no match for them. However, they are relatively friendly to people, they will not take the initiative to attack humans, will not use humans as their food. Killer whale attacks on humans are relatively rare; On the contrary, they are more used by human beings, and human beings often train them as their own helpers to serve themselves. Therefore, it can be said that killer whales still prefer humans.
As mentioned above, killer whales generally do not attack humans and are more friendly to humans. Biologists have a strong interest in this, and have done a lot of research on it, and put forward many possible reasons.
1. High IQ: The intelligence quotient of killer whales is relatively high among whales. Because of their high intelligence, they may know that humans are mammals like them, and may therefore regard humans as their companions. In addition, they may know that it is risky to fight against humans, so they will not attack humans rashly.
2. Humans are not their food: Killer whales have their specific food in the ocean, such as fish and shrimp, etc. They hunt together and even eat great white sharks. But humans are not on their diet, and they don't have much interest in humans.
3. Ancient tradition: Some biologists believe that humans have tamed ferocious killer whales in remote antiquity. This ancient tradition has been handed down to the present.
