"Scientists Probe Orcas' Boat-Sinking Spree"

An international group of scientists has concluded that the recent trend of orcas ramming and sinking boats off the coasts of Spain, Portugal, France, and Morocco is likely due to young, bored orcas engaging in playful behavior. The orcas, particularly juveniles, have been interacting with boat rudders as a form of entertainment, a behavior that has increased as their primary prey, bluefin tuna, has become more abundant. The scientists recommend boaters avoid areas with high orca activity and use deterrents to prevent interactions.
