White Gladis

White Gladis

orca Unknown

White Gladis is a female orca known for her significant influence on the behavior of other orcas in her pod. She is believed to have taught her fellow orcas to engage in ramming attacks on boats, potentially as a response to trauma from a previous collision or entanglement in illegal fishing nets. Her actions have sparked discussions among marine biologists regarding the motivations behind such aggressive behaviors and their implications for maritime safety.
