Killer whales attack sailing boats off the coast of Spain

A flock of killer whales attacks sailing boats and yachts off the coast of Spain and Portugal for almost two months. The research team examines the behavior of animals, but so far there is no answer.

At least two boats were wrecked during this time. Dozens more sailboats were damaged. Several people were injured.

The last time a group of killer whales attacked a sailboat that went to the shores of Great Britain. The incident occurred off the northern coast of Spain. An 11-meter vessel was attacked by animals. They caused 15 damages to the vessel, after which the captain lost control. Now the boat has been towed to port.

Scientists say killer whales are curious, but the real reason for aggressive behavior remains to be seen.
