Orca care about you. They are the only apex predator that refuses to hunt or eat humans. We are unique there too. They will eat other monkeys and apes that they rarely happen upon, and they eat polar bears and other bears whenever they can catch them.
Last time an orca even bit a human in nature, the human was asking for it. They were poking the orca with a blunted harpoon. The orca snapped, bit their arm, realized what it just bit and let go before it severed the dude's arm. Then all the orcas in the area left for a decade or so. This was back in the late 1800s on the Pacific coast of Alaska.
that's so cool!
