  Thanks for watching folks! This video, along with many others I made early on are definitely lacking in the research and quality. In fact this video in particular- despite being just shy of 1 million views- I consider to be the worst offender. I recommend you checkout my newer videos to see how I've refined the format!

  &quot;The orca might avoid hunting them for they could lose a pod member&quot;<br>Bold of you to assume that the orca wouldn&apos;t hunt it just for the trill and prestiege of hunting down the zone boss.

  so the question isn&apos;t &quot;could orcas survive the Mesozoic&quot; so much as it&apos;s &quot;could the Mesozoic survive orcas&quot;

  When your biggest weakness is just simply being too good, you know youre doing something right

  If earth was a game. They would first nerf Humans and secondly, immediately after, Orcas.

  So one of the biggest disadvantages would be that they would suffer from success? Killer-whalebros we so fucking got this!!

  It&apos;d be a plesiosaur genocide as soon as they figured out how easy it is to sever the long head

  &quot;Hm, if the dinosaurs were to gang up on us, it&apos;d cause me a little trouble.&quot;<br><br>&quot;But would you lose?&quot;<br><br>&quot;Nah, I&apos;d survive.&quot;<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;---Orca

  Something I think you&apos;ve overlooked it&apos;s the Orca&apos;s ability to hold grudges. If Orca&apos;s figure out that mosasaurs are a threat when big, but not when small, they might attempt to take out any mosasaur they see

  Orcas are so intelligent that they will actively avoid hunting humans as they know they will be hunted in return. &nbsp;They are undoubtedly the best apex predator (that we know of) in the ocean. &nbsp;<br>Another fun fact. Orcas are the only known creature (other than humans) to hunt bull moose.

  Intelligence is OP and goes hand in hand with social organization. Apes, dolphins, orcas, wolves, elephants. There&apos;s a reason none of these animals have natural predators.
