Equivalent to "primate bush-meat" which is killed, sold, and eaten in Africa (by humans)!

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

Check this - testament to their ability to communicate with each other and work cooperatively

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 :-)
