"how dare you?! I am an orca. That other name is offensive."
"I am a dolphin, not a whale."
An orca isn't an Italian orc?
Only if you say it like this: orc-à 👌
I think tom scott did a video where he mentioned that in the original languange it was "whale killer" not killer whale but people tranlated it word for word, losinh the meaning.
Sir, you are not helping your client's case in the slightest...
Arent they actually dolphins?
Dolphins and orcas are both porpoises. :)
No, dolphins and porpoises are separate families. Orcas are with the dolphins. Porpoises are actually closer with other types of whales like belugas and narwhals. At least per the most widely accepted taxonomy.
All of these are classified as cetaceans though (infraoder, above family) and of course have a common ancestor if you go back far enough.
Stamets, what the hell? Are you trying to break my upvote finger or something? It's starting to get sore...
Your Otter! This trial is nothing but a whale hunt!
We call them "blubber snatchers"
Bath wolves
The real question is, are beluga wales good lawyers?
Why, because they're white?!
Wasn't there an episode of Bob's burgers about this? Where they had a trial of the wicked witch?
I'll bet that's a slur to orcas.
