God is dead, God remains dead and we have killed him. How shall we console ourselves? The murderers of all murderers! The holiest and mightiest the world has ever known has bled to death under our knife. Who will wipe the blood from us? With what great works must we redeem ourselves?

Isn't that kind of a weak God if they were killed by mortals? Unless it was a suicide. In which case, I'm sorry your followers were so shit. Now, can we have more pictures of starfish?

A rare case of killer whales preying on other orcas might have answered one of the oldest and most puzzling mysteries about orca behavior. A mystery that has stumped marine biologists for decades.

For a long time, marine biologists focused on why the Bigg’s orcas lived in small, fluid groups. It was originally believed to be due to the killer whales
diet of marine mammals. This requires the orcas to hunt in silent, coordinated attacks and smaller party sizes reduces the likelihood of getting caught. The discovery of the severed dorsal fins and evidence of cannibalism has some researchers questioning this approach. Maybe instead of wondering why the Bigg’s orcas travel in small pods, the question we should have been asking is why do the Resident orcas stay with their mom’s for life? Especially since “resident killer whales exhibit a unique social system unlike that of any other mammal.”
Resident orca pod structure doesn’t have anything to do with their preferred prey. Resident killer whales don’t hunt cooperatively. They hunt individually. There are also significant drawbacks to having offspring stay with their mothers for their entire lives. But there is one major advantage to living in a large group of close relatives. Animals are more likely to defend their relatives, especially their offspring. “High relatedness within these groups likely promotes mutual defense, with individuals more inclined to protect one another due to kin selection.”
If Bigg’s killer whales occasionally prey on resident orcas, or if they preyed on them in their evolutionary past, then an anti-predator defense could explain why the resident orcas evolved such a unique social structure. Bigg’s preying on resident killer whales could also explain why the residents have been observed initiating the aggressive interactions. This is known as mobbing behavior and it’s common throughout the animal kingdom, especially in birds.
