You forgot the bee.
Don’t forget about the bee and the guy who shot the blackstone ceo
What did the orca do?
Edit: nvm sunk a yacht
Unfortunately, the orcas are attacking relatively small yachts, mostly less than 50' long. Here's some info about the ones they managed to sink recently (because the ones that were merely damaged don't tend to get named in the news articles and are thus harder to find info about):
| yacht name | model | LOA | ballpark value^1^ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Champagne | Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 519 | 52' | ~$150-250k |
| Grazie Mamma II | Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 449 | 45' | ~$150-250k |
| Alboran Cognac | Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 519 | 52' | ~$150-250k |
| Bonhomie William | Beneteau 393 Clipper | 38' | ~$80-150k |
These are the kinds of sailboats that are chartered (rented) by upper-middle-class people on vacation or lived aboard full-time as a less-expensive alternative to owning a house (think nautical #vanlife). The victims of these attacks are not the billionaires you're looking for.

You don’t just walk into a gym and bench press 800 lbs. You gotta work your way up. Give them time.
Hey, they're doing the best they can.
and no link? I have to do my own homework?!
Not just one orca and one yacht. Yacht bumping seems to be turning into an orca game.
why is an easy question. sinking yachts is fun
I’m here for it, but the real billionaire assholes are all in way bigger yachts, more like private navy vessels at this point.
lets not forgot ceo of blackstone was shot, and the news is pratically not reporting it.
eh, that one wasn't a targeted attack. dude was actually trying to kill other people but got to the wrong floor. a dead CEO is good, sure, but dude wasn't a hero
Even when they are, they’re downgrading her position in the company to an “employee”.
She was the "CEO" of a Blackstone real estate trust, to be clear. Not of the whole company.
If that’s the perspective, then all CEO’s are employees. Being the CEO of a subsidiary is still a very high and noteworthy position.
Forgot the bee.
Millionaire has about billion dollars difference between a billionaire. Those are rookie numbers, Mr. Buffalo.
Yeah, I appreciate the enthusiasm. But, millionaires are a whole different species from billionaires.
The Bee is a better candidate.
If orcas are given weapons and armor they will be able to do more damage.
The Avengers Initiative
One of those literally isn't in any shape to act again. Can't refill a crushed can with fresh soda.
build another one
Wait was it by a buffalo or a water buffalo?
Cape buffalo, not an American bison or water buffalo
cape buffalo, of africa, different species synercerus vs bubalus. cape buffalo being from africa is extremely aggresive, you can find videos of them goring LIONs on the regular.
also unrelated to the bison.
I generally don't like violent imagery but I want to see this guy get hooked by this amazing hero animal.
Nice. Good job buffalo
