Orca

The Orca. Magnificent beasts. Front of the queue when it came to handing out cool nicknames. But, very hard to draw without making it look like an Athena poster. I’ll be drawing semi naked men holding babies and tennis players scratching their arses before you know it. Hmmm… reinterpretations of old Athena posters? Not even joking, that could really… FOCUS! Orcas! They are the largest animal in the Dolphin family, and populate every ocean on Earth. Orca’s only sleep with half of their brain at a time as they need to consciously decide when to breathe, and female Orcas are thought to live up to eighty years old! They are super clever, can cooperatively hunt, and are able to pass knowledge down to their offspring. Like how to loosen the skin of a seal before eating it, by tail smashing it into the air. Yummy. I assume my toddler is trying something similar with pasta. Need to restrict her Youtube access. Orcas, thankfully, don’t eat humans. They don’t appear to have EVER eaten a human, which rings alarm bells. Ever? Not even tried one? Perhaps we’re too bony to bother? But worth keeping in mind that should they ever decide to plunder the all you can eat beach buffet, and discover that we’re actually delicious little meaty pop tarts, the sea will be out of bounds forever.
