    Gulper eel said, “I can’t see shit down here. So I’m just going to swim around with my mouth open, and I’m just going to call whatever gets in there lunch.”

    To which evolution replied, “Bet?”

    Orca. They’re just too damn cool, and they refuse to eat humans for some unknown reason. They, as a species, literally eat anything else that dares to enter their water including polar bears.

    I personally maintain that some Orca took out an elderly or young human at some point, and the villagers responded by wiping out the entire pod of orca except for a traumatized survivor that told the rest of the orcas that they shouldn’t ever eat the angry hairless monkeys, and the species has remembered for tens if not hundreds of thousands of years.

      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.

    All of them. There’s so many.

    Sunfish. Vampire squid. Blob fish. That terrifying worm that hides. Pistol shrimp.

    It’s a whole new world down there. Forget Mars!

    Those creatures that live around high temperatures hydrothermal vents, they don’t get their energy from the sun!
