They are so smart, I'm sure if it wanted to knock him off the board and eat him they could have!

And also, that we forget that animals have individual personalities, too. Different Orca tribes have very different feeding habits for instance.

For instance, just because encountering a big human in a dark alley went well once, does not mean it will be safe with any human :-)
