But besides all that crap talk… who do you favour? HardcastleI just see the matchup as pushing GWS vs KW to it's absolute limits giving the GWS the best possible chance... I still would favour a transient Bull KW. |

@ling So scientists and researchers aren't experts? That makes Hardcastle smarter than those scientists and researchers, right? What is Hardcastle an expert in? And I said "scientists/researchers/experts" … |

I could not go into their world and be smarter than them, but equally they can't come here and start pushing me around either. This isn't their field. Maybe one day they will invent an academic field of study in line with what we do, THEN I will get nervous about "the experts". |

I still would favour a transient Bull KW. Despite me posting a few accounts of gws predation on kw, while you posting jack all (because none of it exists). And once again, comparing a Cretoxyrhina to a Great white makes no sense, considering the fact that Cretoxyrhina hunted prey in its weight class and had a taste for more animals (and also lived with larger - more dangerous predators), Comparing a False Killer whale to an Orca is also stupid. |

Even if you wouldn’t consider them experts, that changes absolutely nothing. But they have no degrees or qualifications in other animals, which means they aren't taking into account the ecosystem when creating an animal. This means much of their ''expert opinions'' are flimsy bullshit. |

Whoa... really? I didn't notice. May be I have been negligently disregarding this topic as one worth my attention and missed when you did that. The cases of KW predation on GWS are many and well known. I shouldn't have to post them. It's standard common knowledge at this point (unlike when I used to debate the topic). I'll be honest, I considered that topic done and dusted and wrapped up in a nice little bow. If you have new contradictory evidence I'd be curious to look into it.

This means much of their ''expert opinions'' are flimsy bullshit. That makes no sense. Becoming an expert in one specific group of animals requires the person to know everything about animals, ecosystems, etc that a generalist needs to know too. Just like how a paediatrician still needs to know everything about people of all ages, and not just children. |

I still would favour a transient Bull KW. “The false killer whale has few natural predators in the wild apart from maybe sharks and orcas.” “Killer whales are known to prey on the false killer, and it also possibly faces a threat from large sharks” So that's False killer whales "possibly" facing a threat from large sharks "maybe" (again we need to start looking at data rather than opinions from people dumber than us, but whatever). I thought you were saying there were cases of actual killer whales being killed by sharks? Yeah you definitely said that- Can you post those? That would be fairly explosive stuff. I've relaxed on killer whale vs GW for 20 years, but you are poised to flip that table rather dramatically if you have something... |
