That's one way to describe it but your mom really isn't that fat and my pants really aren't that deep. You're right about colossal though.

FUCK orcas
Yeah theyre the oceans top predator with great intelligence and amazing hunting strategies
But you know what? THEY SHOULDNT BE.
THEY LOOK FUCKING RETARDED.
They look like something I stick up my ass. A suppository. They look like Oreo brand bananas. They're just this lame, shapeless blob with stupid colors, making stupid sounds, with stupid blobby fins. Theyre like a childs drawing. They're muppets.
Theres a reason every kid likes sharks and looks on orcas with complete indifference. Its not because of what they are and what they do, its because of how they look, its rule of cool. And orcas just aint cool lookin.

Kind of sucks that specialising on hunting cephalopods tends to result in losing most of your teeth.
But also kind of amazing that there are something like three dozen species of large mammalian predators specialised on hunting cephalopods. Mostly whales, but also a few species of seals.
There's a ridiculous number of squid in the ocean.

There are several Eskimo accounts from disparate areas reporting Narwhals turning on killer whales in self defence, charging and impaling them completely, then both corpses washing up on shore.

Whales are fish. So are crabs, starfish etc. The word fish, for over one and a half thousand years, has meant: 'anything that lives in the water'. Fish as we call them now were scalefish. I have read accounts from scientists in the 1700s who specifically point out that they are very genetically different even though they all share a name.

Humans are more closely related to cod, than cod are to sharks. The new definition of fish is presented as being more precise but really misrepresents things.

Isn't it crazy that an animal that needs to come to the surface to breathe somehow specializes in feeding on squid found deep in the depths where there's no light?

Not really, the deeper you go the more food youre gonna find that surface feeders cant get to. Untapped goldmine of food down there.

it makes sure to swim through enough bubbles for oxygen
