Naturalists have 逮捕（する）d the みごたえのある moment a fearsome blue shark got the shock of a lifetime when five 殺し屋 鯨s bore 負かす／撃墜する on it in the waters off California.
The predator （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 a 迅速な 退却／保養地 from the pod-of-five dubbed 'Louise's family' by scientists after they began stalking the waters off the coast of Monterey.
It （機の）カム いっそう少なく than a month after a 殺し屋 鯨 was seen 殺人，大当り and devouring a 広大な／多数の／重要な White Shark for the first time まっただ中に 報告（する）／憶測s of ますます 積極的な 行為 by the 種類 に向かって humans and other animals.
And the 10-foot shark was left in no 疑問 about his place in the つつく／ペックing order as the mighty 鯨s wheeled 一連の会議、交渉／完成する to size him up.
'They did not touch it or eat it,' the Monterey Bay 鯨 Watch 報告（する）／憶測d excitedly, 'What a rare and lucky 遭遇（する） today between two unique 種類!'
The blue shark was 巡航するing through the sea of Monterey in California when it saw the pod of five 殺し屋 鯨s just yards away and の近くにing in 急速な／放蕩な
The shark made a 早い about-turn and raced away as the 鯨s, dubbed Louise's Family'? wheeled 一連の会議、交渉／完成する to take a closer look at it? ?
The pod 再開するd its 旅行, breaking the surface of the sea to the delight of naturalists に引き続いて と一緒に?
Scientists have been scratching their 長，率いるs over the 鯨s' new-設立する assertiveness after at least five boats were sunk in a 一連の attacks since 2020.
One British couple were 支配するd to a terrifying 90-minute 猛攻撃 by six of the creatures 船内に their 巡洋艦 ヨット off Gibraltar in May last year.
'We were sitting ducks,' Janet Morris said.
'A 明確に larger matriarch was definitely around and was almost 監督するing,' her husband Stephen said.
'I kept reminding myself we had a 22-トン boat made of steel, but seeing three of them coming at once, quickly and at pace with their fins out of the water was daunting.'
捜査官／調査官s 結論するd the 強襲，強姦 was led by a 鯨 dubbed 'White Gladis' who has coached other 鯨s to attack boats after 存在 traumatized in a '批判的な moment of agony' when she 衝突する／食い違うd with a 大型船 or was snared in fishing 逮捕するs.
Just two days later another ヨット was sunk nearby in an attack by a pod of one adult and two juveniles.
For the first time, a 殺し屋 鯨 has been seen 個々に 殺人，大当り and 消費するing a 広大な／多数の／重要な white shark ? and within just two minutes off the coast of South Africa last month?
During the 観察するd interactions of this event, at least two white sharks were killed, as 証拠d by the 発見 of a second carcass 手段ing 3.55 メーターs (11.6 feet) nearby
Janet Morris and Stephen Bidwell were on a ヨット in Gibraltar this month when they were 支配するd to a terrifying 90-minute attack by a pod of kill er 鯨s
The attack left the couple's 22 トン steel boat 損失d and limping 支援する to port without a rudder?
'The little ones shook the rudder at the 支援する while the big one 繰り返して 支援するd up and rammed the ship with 十分な 軍隊 from the 味方する,' Captain Werner Schaufelberger said.
'The two little orcas 観察するd the bigger one's technique and ? with a slight run-up ? they, too, slammed into the boat.'
Monika Wieland 保護物，者s of the Orca 行為 学校／設ける in Washington said several hundred 出来事/事件s have now been 報告（する）／憶測d 世界的な since the attacks began.
'We've had so many people come out here to where I am in Washington 明言する／公表する this year, and they're asking: 'Is it 安全な to 見解（をとる） 鯨s here? How big is the boat we're going on? Is there a chance the 鯨s are going to attack this boat?' she told NBC in December.
In September 2022, 当局 in Spain 制限するd 大型船s from sailing from the northwestern tip 予定 to the 殺到する in attacks, and a pair of 殺し屋 鯨s, dubbed Port and Starboard, have developed a taste for 広大な／多数の／重要な White Sharks.
At least eight 広大な／多数の／重要な Whites have washed up on the beaches of South African since 2017 after their nutrient-rich 肝臓s were ripped out by the apex predators.
殺し屋 鯨s typically eat 調印（する）s or even イルカs but last month Starboard became the first of his 種類 known to have killed and eaten a 広大な／多数の／重要な White by himself.
'Starboard was 観察するd preying on a 2.5-メーター (8.2 feet) juvenile white shark, later carrying the shark's 肝臓 in its mouth past a boat,' said Dr Alison Towner from Rhodes University.
殺し屋 鯨s can reach up to 32 feet and 重さを計る more than 12,000 続けざまに猛撃するs, living up to 90 years.
Around 200 live off the California coast and sightings are most ありふれた in April and May.
But scient ists have played 負かす／撃墜する （人命などを）奪う，主張するs that the creatures are becoming more 積極的な に向かって humans, 主張するing their attacks on boats should be seen as 'playful social 行為' and not '復讐' for 虐待.
'殺し屋 鯨s just want to hav e fun,' said Robert Pitman of Oregon 明言する／公表する University's 海洋 哺乳動物 学校／設ける.
'They're not afraid of boats, and there's nothing for them to eat there.
'They're intelligent, social animals, and they live in what I think is probably an under-刺激するing 環境 for their mental capacity.
'復讐 is not a useful thing in nature. It's not adaptive at all ― unless you're a human, I guess.'
