      Then do orcas count? Because I just can’t think of anything from the depths I find that interesting, things just move so slow down there

      But I have orca facts for days

        Are you thinking about just those little bottom feeder guys on the sea floor? The deep sea has really fascinating creatures that you likely are very familiar with like the great white shark, vampire squid, ocean sunfish, giant squid, and the black seadevil! I dunno how deep orcas can dive, but maybe they do count as deep sea creatures if they spend a lot of time down there.

          If great white sharks count I think orcas would too

          But yeah… Those are cool and all, but it’s like asking me what my favorite kind of flower is. I see how they look cool, I see how others might get excited for them, but I’m just not that interested in them

          But orcas have many different languages and cultures. They swim across entire oceans. Some of them started sinking yahts (for what I’m convinced is based on understanding which humans are destroying the world), but they never harm humans (outside of the ones driven insane by confinement)

          They might actually be smarter than us, their brains are the most wrinkly in the world. They could have oral traditions going back as far as human history

            I totally get it. Orcas are cool as hell. I love that their grandmas are the bosses of their pods.

            Btw, are we friends yet?
