Orcas seem to have fairly specialised diets -- there's different subspecies, each of which eats something different. https://seaworld.org/animal-info/animal-infobooks/killer-wha... >Type A whales eat mostly Antarctic minke whales and have also been observed hunting southern elephant seals. >Large type B whales eat mainly seals, especially Weddell seals, and also hunt minke whales. >Small type B killer whales have been observed hunting penguins and are believed to mainly eat fishes. >Type C killer whales mostly eat Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni). >Little is known about the diet of type D killer whales, however, they have been observed preying on Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) caught on longlines. So if type C whales don't eat seals and type B whales don't eat fish, it's not surprising that no whale type likes to eat humans -- they're apparently just picky eaters. |
