Higher or lower than being attacked and sunk by a whale?


===============



I've read/heard of the whale problem. Seems you may hit one sleeping on
the surface which may be any species. Or pilot whales have been said to
deliberately attack a sailboat, especially a boat with a light colored hull
underwater. The thinking being, they think they are attacking a predator
such as a shark or orca.
BTW Ever see orcas attack seals and sealions? Like a cat with a mouse. And
the end is generally the same also.
