The unusual hostility is puzzling scientists worldwide.The strange behavior first surfaced on July 29, when Victoria Morris, a biology graduate, noticed nine orcas circling the 46-foot boat she was crewing near the shores of the Strait of

29、 Gibraltar. She was initially cheerful to see the friendly animals, with which she had numerous encounters while teaching sailing in New Zealand.

The scientist wasn't sure if the orcas were hurt during or before the recent boat encounters. Lopez said, “Our interpretati
