Orcas use strategies to create waves that wash seals and other prey off ice floes, demonstrating their flexible use of the environment.
Orcas display complex emotions and social relationships, including enduring family bonds, behaviors indicative of grief (such as when losing a relative), and playfulness, all manifestations of high-order emotional cognition.
In sum,
Chen Yun, who didn't want to harm these unhostile and exceptionally intelligent creatures, expressed his non-threat by slowly backing away.
Seeing how properly Chen Yun backed off,
the cautious mood emanating from the orca pod noticeably weakened.
These intelligent creatures also slowly backed away, widening the distance from Chen Yun, clearly not intending to have a conflict with him.
However, in this standoff,
an ungainly youngster with a brain so simple it could only think of eating suddenly burst onto the scene.
It was a Great White Shark.
