Orcas Are Sinking Yachts Off Spain’s Coast — Scientists Still Can’t Explain Why!

Since 2020, a tiny population of fewer than 40 orcas off Spain and Portugal has rammed more than 600 boats. At least six yachts have sunk, including Alboran Champagne in 2023 and Alboran Cognac in 2024. Nobody has been hurt. Was it revenge by a wounded female called White Gladis? A game spreading among young orcas, like the famous "salmon hat" of 1987? Or a side effect of the quiet seas of 2020 and the return of bluefin tuna? In this documentary we go through every theory, every sinking and every clue. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 The night Alboran Champagne sank 1:31 Who are the Iberian orcas? 3:54 Summer 2020: the first attacks 5:31 The revenge theory and White Gladis 6:46 The boats that went down 9:00 What an attack feels like on board 11:05 A game or a fad? 13:27 The orca mind 15:07 The silence of 2020 and the tuna 16:48 What sailors are doing now 17:47 New waters 18:35 What comes next 19:19 So was it revenge? #orcas #killerwhales #ocean #marinebiology #gibraltar
