A sailboat off the coast of southern Spain was recently attacked by a group of orcas that repeatedly rammed the vessel, breaking its rudder and rupturing the hull. The crew called for help from Spanish authorities, who sent a rapid-response boat and a helicopter with a bilge pump to help them bail water. This is one of dozens of orca attacks that have been recorded so far this year off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.
