ysabetwordsmithKiller whales attempt to feed people in first-ever sightings: 'Represents altruism'
Among their own whale circles, they have long shared their prey with one another, but in a new study, recorded over the course of the last two decades, wild orcas were spotted trying to share their food with human beings.
These wild whales, on 34 occasions, across four oceans, were documented approaching humans on their own, dropping a fresh kill in front of the people, and waiting for a response.
The polite thing to do is accept it, and if you have anything suitable, swap something back. Cetaceans love the hell out of human item drops. A sturdy beach toy should go over well. Treat this as a first-contact situation; be cautious but aware that you are dealing with a sophont of another species.
