Killer whales and dolphins are generally not aggressive towards humans, despite their predatory nature. This contrasts with land predators like lions and tigers, which may see humans as prey. A notable exception to dolphin behavior is the incident involving Robin Williams, who was bitten by a dolphin while filming, highlighting that while aggression is rare, it can occur. The curiosity and friendliness dolphins often display towards humans is unusual, especially considering their history of being hunted. The discussion raises questions about how dolphins might react to other animals, such as cows or goats, in the water, suggesting that their interactions with humans are distinct. Additionally, it is noted that orcas, being larger predators, might view humans differently than smaller dolphins. Their advanced sonar abilities may allow them to recognize humans as non-prey, potentially sparking intellectual curiosity rather than aggression.
